I hate stuffing the battery in the wing. Would it be ok to mount them to the fuselage, at the trailing edge of the wing. Or would it throw everything out of balance?

I add'ed a poll

I cant imagine it would change the balance at all. if your putting it opposite the side the motor sits it shouldnt matter that much. I have my battery in the back edge of my left wing and its fine.

Determine what the balance point is without the battery and mount it accordingly. Not difficult.

Its just to hard to figure out. But one could try both...and then figure it out....someday.

I have my battery on my OMP Katana mounted on the left side of the fuse and it works great. No problems at all....

Just check the CG. I have an EF Edge with a YS63. It was nose heavy so I mounted the battery on the fuse behind the wing. It has not caused any problems.

What are you guys using to secure the batteries? Velcro or Zip Ties?

What I really meant was- do you guys trust the velcro with the weight of the batteries, on the outside of the plane? I've always used zip ties on batteries in the fuse.

If I was running one on the side of the fuse I would probably try to either zip tie it or use rubberbands. I only use velcro on my foamies

I used double sided foam tape and a zip tie. Worked fine and was easily removeable when I sold the profile.
