Battery Hold-Down
I sanded balsa blocks to the desired thickness to allow battery clearance over the rear boom retaining tube, then coated them (two coats) with thinned-down 30 minute epoxy. I glued the Velcro strips on the balsa blocks with Stick & Seal adhesive, then secured them in place with Scotch double sided mounting tape. The aluminum angle was attached using Super Strength 3M double sided automotive molding tape. The battery will have Velcro Stick & Sealed to the bottom, which will allow for it to be positioned fore or aft to adjust the balance between front & rear sponsons. Tight Fit !!!
