Fusion 50 for a newbie?

[LipolyGone]

As I'm going 6s on mine I just won't be using a battery tray. I have test-fitted a 6s 5000mah pack and with two straps even just moderately snug it's quite secure. I think there's room for a bit of velcro or some other non-skid strip and then it will be bullet proof.

You can use the battery tray sheryl on 6s you just put it on underneath the frame. It obviously doesnt support the battery in this guise but it does help the strapping
as it means the battery straps come from a more acute angle, hence helping keep the battery level on the frame.
The battery in the picture is a trunigy 45c 6s 5000 probably the worst type for the airfram due to how the battery leads exit the pack the optis (pic attached) fit a treat though.

Well here is the mk1 carbon battery tray!
very pleased with it looks good to!


As i said martin is having one! so he can put it though it paces and let me know if it work ok or needs tweaking, but if any one would like one please let me know, it took me about 1.5hours in total from laying up the carbon and shaping to the finished item so to cover the material and a small part of labour £25 would cover it

The original tray works just fine. Run the straps under the frame as well as through the slots and it's as good as gold. At least mine is

Ive made it a few mm's wider it's the Mk1 so I'll try this see how it goes I can alway make another

Think I will have to with 4000mah as he does not have any 3300 and doesnt stock 3800s

Lee, you can get the 3800's from GensAce in germany, I ordered 2 last Wednesday and I had them on Monday. Not a bad price either.
