The last step before applying the decals is to secure the battery pack and check the CG. The CG was a bit nose heavy with the battery flush with the edge of the fuselage foam so I left it there since there was Velcro already mounted by the manufacturer. A simple EPP foam block is was used to secure the pack from moving during aerobatics.

When I fired up the power system, it brought me back to the great smooth feeling of brushed motor speed controls. The only brushless system to ever match it was the sensored design by MaxCim Motors. Unfortunitly, the industry took the sensorless path.

Note how easily the hatch is latched in place by the rubber holders.
