Danger

There also doesn't look like much room under any floor to place the batteries? They can't be in the tailcone - too far back - and no room in the nose, with the nosewheel strut and wheel, pilot's feet and his big watch.
Jup, thats what i thought as well. Plus, Flutter Test will end in a nightmare....
