This is where I'm at.Waiting on the feigao 540c 8xl to get here and the new body to finish it off.I made the battery holder from carbon fiber 80/20 cloth laid up in 4 layers with a piece of depron foam sandwiched between the 2nd and 3rd layers on the bottom so I'd have some depth to cut holes for the mud guard nuts.I used a block of foam as the form and wrapped it with cling wrap to act as a release film and wrapped the outside tightly with the same stuff to give it at least a 1/2 baked finish.
The battery strap bolts are holding it to the deck as well as velcro on the inboard side to act as a sort of leveler.
I also epoxied together some carbon ribbon I had laying around to make the BEC/receiver mount to get them up off the deck.I need to find one of those antenna expansion nut doohickies that fit in a drilled hole or fabricate something for the antenna as well.

thanks
