[NSRCA-discussion] batteries high or low (electric pilots)

[Earl Haury]

Jason, looks like you're not getting any takers on this item. It seems 
logical that anything of significant mass (batteries) should be close to the 
roll center of the airplane, and I mount mine that way. I flew an Abbra for 
a season with the batts centered and liked the way it flew. OTOH, several 
folks have competed successfully with the Abbra with batts hanging low in 
the cowl - so go figure.

Guess you'll just have to do the experiment (and let us know what you 
observe).

Earl
