Mini Super Sportster LiPo..where did you mount it?
What size battery did you use and where do you think is the best spot to mount it? i have one with a outrunner and a 1500 LiPo and im having trouble finding an easy way to install and remove it without messing up my CG. post pics if you can!

I use a 3-cell 2100 thunder power pack. I had to remove most of the vertical former that normally forms the "stop" for the front of the battery so I could get it far enough forward to balance the plane. Took a few minutes with an exacto and chisel (Yes, I very crudely "knocked out" that former 
)

Hey Gary, I saw you fly helicopters a few times years ago and I wondered if you
were still flying them? I think you were a Bergen rep at the time. Just curious if
you quit flying them since you were SOOOOOO good. [X(] Thanks David.

I use the Thunder Powere 2100 mah lipos in my Mini Super Sportster , and filed , cut , worried a space past the former which prevented the batt from going far enough ahead for CG balance . Used velcro sticky back for holding the batt in place , works for me in my plane .

I use 3s1p 1500 Polyquests in mine. It's a tight squeeze, but they fit right up against the first former. I hold em in with just a small square of velcro. With the stock power system, the cg is right on
