    Part Sliding Battery Tray V1.0

    The tray is designed to fit a battery inside a location that would be hard to strap in or to get back off of the Velcro.

    Help! Bix 3 Battery.

    Hi Everyone, I just ordered a Bix 3 recently and I wanted to use a 3s 5000mah Turnigy battery with it However the recommended battery for this plane was a 3s 2200. My only worry is that the 5000mah is around 220g heavier and so would probably make the plane severely nose heavy, does anyone have...
