How close is 'too close'??? RX battery placement question
My 1/4 scale Piper Pawnee has a G62 gas engine. It seems the guy who built it and I bought it from built the plane way tail heavy. As it turns out, I will need lead in the nose and was wondering if I could place the 6 volt rx battery somewhere on the firewall right next to the engine? This would allow me to save a few ounces of 'dead weight' which I don't need. Any problems or bad issuues with placing the battery this close to the engine.
If you're wondering...it's a stock magneto cdi engine. Thanks for help.
