I'd be all with you...

IF IT WERE JUST TEETHING TROUBLES AND READING LIGHTS...

but that battery installation unfortunately is destined for "doom & gloom"...

the bird will have to be grounded again after the next major inflight batt issues, which hopefully will turn out to nothing much more than some inconvenient diversions..

But those Li Ions ( at this stage of technical (in) maturity) will have to come out and the battery system will need a major redesign before the bird will finally be safe enough for public transport...
