I'm running the SMC High Voltage batteries (5300mah 75C 6S) which weigh in at 731 gr.
I'm using the rear and front battery compartments. Rear is sorta irrelevant. But the front is what counts. With my setup. I'm positioning the battery on the very front edge of the wood tray. She CG's neutral (sits completely flat and level)
I have tried some spektrum 5000mah 50C 6S batteries (760 gr), but had a hard time getting the CG neutral with those batteries. Still working on it. So I don't really have and answer for you on those batteries.
The Admiral 6000mah 50C 6S batteries weigh in at 910 gr. which in my opinion are probably a bit too heavy for this plane?'
I would suggest trying a smaller battery and just keep playing with it. You'll find the sweet spot.
I would send you a picture. But I won't be able to do it until Sunday.
Also as already suggested, you may need to carve out some of the foam on the canopy to fit the bigger batteries and get it to CG
