Mine is under the baggage bay so can't really comment on that.
What I can say is that wrapping the exhausts is a big no-no. It causes them
to crack. It was mentioned in a factory newsletter quite a while back.
Secondly, the purpose of the mass balance arm is to balance the Stab'. If
Mod 70 is heavier them surely it will be out of balance???

Anyone install battery aft of baggage bay bulkhead? Do you find access
through D panel a real pain? What battery, what size wire did you run, was
starter performance acceptable?
Any pictures?
Any opinion if I should make choice to mount battery there now or wait
till build is complete?
I suspect my XS Monowheel will tend to be on the nose heavy side.
