Tony,
That far aft (picture) shouldn't be necessary. Under the baggage bay or just to
the rear of the baggage bay (and accessible through the "D" door) should work
out just fine.
Best regards,

Suffice to say, can I presume that I might need weight in the tail and therefore
having the battery back there is a good option, or can I confidently place
it under the baggage bay shelf ? I am about to buy cabling for the battery
which is why I am asking at this point.

that will accept a decent deceleration. The back of my head looks better without
a battery in the back of it. I have thought of using rudder cable looped
aft under the tailwheel leg attachment point, and then forward onto the battery
box. This Odyssey battery at least comes in a metal battery case. Any input
much appreciated.
