Battery Pack Mounting Advice
Here is where I am at. I usually mount the smaller packs over the tank, wrapped in foam, and cased in a baggie. The baggie for possible fuel leaks, etc. Never had that happen. Now I am into this bigger plane, powerful JRdigital servo's onthe control surfaces, need some advice.
This is a 2200 mah pack 6V. The inside bottom of this fuselage is styro-foam, factory installed. Since it is tight under the tank mounting cross pieces, I also have additional cross pieces fore and aft, for the pack to slide under. These cell's are huge, compared to what I am used to. I have not wrapped the pack in foam because it has to slide under the two cross piece's. I do have the bottom of the battery pack setting on 1/4" foam, the kind we usually use on receiver's, etc., secured with velcro. My question, long time coming here: Am I OK with only foam on one side of this pack ? The top of the pack is touching the wood cross piece's. I am using a Hyde mount on this new YS110. Am I being too cautious, and just go for it ?My concern has always been vibration. I can move the pack fore and aft, for CG purpose's, which was my original goal. Thanks for any comment's.
