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

[AtwoodDon at aol.com]

On my e-planes, the landing gear plate is right where I would like the  
batteries to sit so the choice is above or below the plate.  I have not  tried 
below the plate yet so can't comment on that.
 
Anyone been successful at some other type of mounting approach?  I  have 
thought about splitting the 5S packs and put one above and one below.   
However, that seemed like a hard way to approach the test so did not try  it.

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).
