Got a little work done on the lightening tonite.
Repositioned the power board under the fuel tray where the bottom access panel is. This is a little further forward to help with CG. Also, lengthen the wires and resoldered the deans connectors to allow for forward battery placement as Tim recommended.
Placed a piece of shock absorbing foam under the board, and attached it to the plane with a few tie straps.

Plenty of length on power wires, and more room on the tray without the smoke tank.

Also, removed the heavy smoke muffler, and installed the lighter factory muffler:

Next up, reroute the wires to the underside, and close up this lighter plane.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
