Garrelc... Here's a few pics where my rec./battery is... Battery in foam next to tk... It's
surprizing that my S.T. is still here[X(]... My 6v battery started out on the bottom of the
fuse just ahead of the elev. servos.... rookie mistake on balance..... Made 3 flts. with it
in the general area.... WoW... talk about touchy... my breath on the sticks would make
it sky rocket up[]... Hands off inverted it would climb better than some trainers using
full push... I needed "push" to land.... But it was no problem.....
Where the battery is now, I'm a bit shy of the recommended and I like it, As I said I
have no problems so far in 65 flts.. T.O.'s and Lands Great!!... I also sealed all my
control surfaces with cheap tower clear... It's what I had and useing on all my planes..

I used gorilla glue on my stab. and tube.... I just removed covering on the fuse, I
dampened one side and glued the other along with the pin.. Same on the tube, I put the
glue in the tube housing and dampened the tube and also added some glue to the tube
at the fuse about 2-3" out.... On my build.. I also added some C.A. to all openings etc.
to seal and "maybe give added strenght...
I was going to check my incidence... But no meter, and the
one that I was going to use was unaval.... Sssooooo... It just went together the best I
could tell.... It's working Great so far.......
