That's close to where my Admirals are. The top one is flush with the step down. The lower one the end of the battery is lined up with the 2nd long oval on the wooden tray. Flys great, I have 5 flights on her.

Well today was day 1 out our 3 day Jet event up in Ottawa. Needless to say the A-10 attracted alot of attention even among the turbines :-) I knew that my friend Larry would come through with some amazing photos of the A-10. I will share 2 of them with everyone here.
I also include a shot of my A-10 without the pylons or stores attached for comparison. I really prefer to have the A-10 fully loaded. Thankfully with the stock power, i don't really notice flying with them. I still have tons of power and can do nice big loops and zip by on a low pass.
What a great day!

I'm using both the old and new version Admirals. I line up both with the back edge of their battery tray. The new ones will touch each other, but will fit.

Originally posted by TomPatton View PostI have been looking thru the threads to find out where to purchase the battery connector protector they use in the A-10 build video on the wing connectors... I know someone asked about it and someone answered but I can't find it. I can't find them at MRC either so they evidently don't stock them although the Admiral batteries are coming with them already on the balance plug...
Thanks...
Tom

For anyone stacking batteries (I believe RCdude is and maybe some others as well), did you decide to use a completely new battery strap of larger length to accommodate the increased length needed, or did you end up combining both stock battery straps to make one (as they catch at each metal piece)?
