Anyone have suggestions to fit the slightly oversize Air Thunder 2200?

I can almost cram the fg canopy over the battery and wires but not quite. I have my TP battery in the stock (flat) position which fits fine, not angled like the Trex. It looks like I can angle the receiver tray down and strap the battery in but that doesn't look all that secure.

Also, any chance the stock Align canopy is a hair bigger which will fit the battery in the flat position?

Thanks!

Try it in the angled position with velcro on the tray and battery then strapped.

Holds batteries pretty securely.

I'll try it when I get a chance. Been super busy and I'll have to relocate my receiver and re-route wires. I can angle the receiver tray down, as it is only attached at one end, and the battery can sit on that, but the battery won't really have support, and I'm concerned that strapping it down when it is acting as a bridge/structural member between the receiver tray and the bottom tray is a bad idea. Maybe I can find a piece of CF to use under the battery for the full length. Do you have an HDX450, or something else?

SE converted to the STK Superframe-same same as HDX450.
Tray is angled down and is strong enough.No probs.
Will try and post a pix tonight.
