I Didnt Want to Wait So I Built My Own Battery Fence!

Michaelinpr · 07-13-2012, 08:24 PM

When I first got the kit I was surprised that the battery fence was not included. I had nothing to do tonight so I took a couple extra frame pieces from an SJM 325 that seemed just right. A couple alluminum spacers I had. Fabricated two more that i didnt have from 1/4" aluminum rod. An alluminum bearing block spacer from a Trex 600N. And then a couple washers from my Fusion 50 parts bin.

Seems good so far. No flights yet. I like the Gaui one better but I dont see the need for the frame stiffeners that come with it. The frame is the most solid frame there is. So her she is.

Nice job! Regarding the frame stiffeners, you are right that the frame is as stiff as it needs to be, but they are not really frame "stiffeners", they are frame "strengtheners" designed to stop the frame breaking where it gets thin just under the motor. I'm guessing the marketing department thought calling it a "strengthener" was akin to admitting that the frame had a weak point.
