Default SkysharkRC Edge 540

Has anyone done this yet?

I found a great thread on the ARF kit but all with 4 stroke power.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_33...tm.htm#3372413

Plans are to use a Axi 4130/20, 8S2P 8000mAh lipo starting out with a 18x8E prop

Battery location is where I am looking for help. One possibility is to open up the area where the fuel tank would have gone.

Default RE: SkysharkRC Edge 540

This kit has gone together quick. The guys at SkysharkRC have done a great job.

I pulled the ply fuel tank support and set the batteries in the engine box. The CG came out near perfect. I made up a battery tray and have set the batteries in with 3/8" balsa & foam spacers to allow for airflow.

If anyone has another way, please let me know. It's going to be few day before I get back to this and finish off the wiring.
