I was recently given a Pico Cub for an xmas present. Since it's my first R/C I have taken my time putting it together wanting it to be right. Also, everything was sent to us from a model shop hundreds of miles away so popping back into the store isn't an option and where I am located is miles away from any R/C model shop.

Anyway I was told that I could modify the battery pack sent to me with this plane. Because they didn't send the exact battery pack for the plane as intended by Multiplex. I was sent a pack which was based of 7 batteries next to each other in one long row.

Obviously this won't fit into the plane so the model shop I got it from said I could take the casing off and change the layout of the batteries to fit into the plane. There are flat metal strips that connect each battery and I had to remove one of them to do this. Putting it back on I think I may have done it slightly wrong.

I used a bit of superglue to hold the metal strip onto each battery and I only realised once it was done that I should probably not have done this. Does the superglue act as a barrier between the batteries, or will the current still flow? There are sections of this strip that do touch the battery but not as much as originally.

Should I remove the strip again and just place the metal strip on and put tape over the batteries to hold it all together?

YOU MUST SOLDER THE CONECTOR BARS ON! Glue will not work!

Just heat the joints with a soldering iron, and apply solder to your super glued tabs. The heat and rosin will burn off the super glue in short order.

Make sure you use 60/40 rosin core electical solder, not plumbers lead with acid flux

hey thanks for the advice - really appreciated

Also, make very sure that the cells are connected in series, positive (+) end of one cell to the negative (-) end of the next.
