Stiffeners run from the rear bearing support structure to the top of the fuse.

Almost 9 grams removed by shortening the ESC battery leads.

Probably the lightest way to make a series connector with 2 Deans connectors. The negative pole of one is soldered into a slot cut into the positive pole of the other. The plastic bodies are angled and glued together before soldering the two together.

Wire from the ESC and Throttle Tech battery tap are routed along the side of the fuse.

The Throttle Tech is mounted vertically below the tray. The blue tubes are Nyrod type outer sheath and hold the 2 receiver antennae at about 90 degrees to each other.

2 batteries, 2 regulators, the receiver and the Throttle Tech are all mounted to the tray. All leads are shortened if needed to minimize extra wire.

I wasn't happy with the clevis on the rudder horn as the hinge line is angled causing the horn only to be lined up with the cable at neutral. The connection was twisting so i swapped to ball links on the rudder horns.

I decided to use standard type clevises on the elevator linkage. I would normally have chosen a little longer servo arm but they are not available for this particular servo. I planned to use an aluminum arm and ball links but the aluminum arms from MKS for this servo at least are a sloppy fit. I couldn't reliably get rid of the play. The Nylon horn that comes with the servo is not very heavy duty so I was worried about it twisting with the side loads of a ball link.

This foam cushioning was applied to both the wing and stab root.

Rear of the battery tray glued to the CF tube and LG box. The Battery tray with the 2 CF tubes weighed 45 gms (no glue or lite ply supports) Maybe a bit heavier than needed but I am a little gun shy about making this part too light and risk sending a battery pack or pack with tray into orbit.

The rear CF tube was glued in first, butted up against and flush with the top of the landing gear box. Hysol was used for this. Lite ply supports fitted to each end. The CF tube will add additional support to the LG box as well as help tie the battery tray to it.

Underside of the tray: Added reinforcements to the slatted sides and brackets to fit around and add gluing surface to the CF tubes.

The slots are a tight fit on a piece of 1/8" CF tube.
