After giving headache to all the friends in this great site, I have learned a lot but still need more. My pt electric, my baby, flew it about 6 times with 6 cell nicad 1200 mah and some times with 6 pack 3000 nimh . climbing was slow but better than the thrustmaster. I had to hand launch it all the time because the magnetic mayhem and GD 600 set up takes 8 cell ,so power was marginal with 6 cell.but yesterday even after fully charging the 6 cell nicad, my freind hand launched it ,it flew but it was stalling i stopped using elevator but some guys were running on the feild which prevented me from landing if kept trying but then stalled and crashed.

1- i can repair it but need some help. should i use thin CA or thick or 5 minute epoxy?

2- i will raise the landing gear and make it steerable therefore the rod coming from rudder servo has to run right above the battery box,so, that means i cannot raise the ceiling of the battery box because it will touch the servo rod going to the gear right?
i want to use 8 cell that u can see in the pic, if i put all 8 cells in line that means ill have to move the battery back wall closer to the servos which will have a negative effect on the center of g. right?? so my only choice make a hump back battery pack then raise the ceiling of the battery. both situations are bad. im left with a third choice which is to make it a tail drager, which makes the battery hatch smaller i think. help is always appreciated
