Default RE: Mount Battery Under Cowl?

Hm.. I have a Seagull Super Star that I am about 3/4 finished. It only needs servo linkage, pull-pull rudder connections, and radio installation. I am using a brand new OS 1.60FX and was wondering about the CG. I guess I'll find out, won't I. It has a rather large cowl up front, but I won't be using it for the first several tanks of fuel, until I get everything dialed in, then I'll get that mounted. I've fit it in already, I will just leave it off for a short time.

Anyway, back to the battery. I am also using remote Glow Driver on this plane because, when finished, the darned engine will be almost inaccessable in there. That remote has it's own battery pack which I may wrap or seal up in something, perhaps RTV or Silicone, and then put it up front if I need the weight. I don't want to add lead.

CGr.
