Default RE: Oxai E-Pinnacle Build

Time to finish the build pictures:

To finish off the plane the battery tray was next. The tray is made from carbon fiber nomex composite. Balsa rails were added to the inside of the fuse to aid in alignment and increase gluing surface area.

The tray also serves as the mount for the speed controller. Small round spacers were added to the bottom of the tray to prevent the speed controller mounting screws from protruding through the top of the tray. Screws are mounted in yellow nyrod as in other areas of the plane.

The 2 slots in the tray are openenings for the velcro strap. The second strap is tied to the landing gear plate. Two .125 carbon tubes provide the anchor points.
