I'm working on a QB fuselage and the plans tell me to install the battery tray after I've done the cabin side covers and before the arm rests. Am I missing the logic in installing the battery tray at this point? I'm not sure why the plans have you jump from the cabin to the firewall and back to the cabin. I was also wondering about the battery tray itself. I've read on one of the lists that it's better to install the regular size tray even if you plan on an Odyssey battery. You can pad the tray for the smaller battery, but if it craps out away from home base you can replace it with a standard battery to get home. Any thoughts? Thanks. Ken
