Battery placement

[Phantom McBride]

Hello


I would like to know where is the best place for the battery to be mounted. And is Velcro the best option?

For most helis,the battery is mounted somewhere forward near the canopy to balance the helicopter.Most micros will have a sliding tray under the frame and minis [like the 36]will have a tray built into the frame where the canopy mounts.Velcro is great for battery mounting-I used to use it in airplanes as it allows easy battery placement and removal without fiddling with rubber bands or straps.Of course you should use good quality Velcro[and enough of it]so that the battery stays put during maneuvers-you don't want the battery to fall off in mid air!
