Strapping on a pack

[Wayno52]

So my question is this , I have 3 different packs that I run on my tyrant s. I have 1x3s 70c flat pack, 1x4s 75c flat pack and 2 x 4s 95c I think called square packs. The flat packs sit better on top of my bird than the square. Size and weight difference is huge. But mounting them is becoming more of a challenge as COG is difficult to get with no space to put straps. I have found that if my straps go directly over any wiring they brown. Hmmm may get that magic smoke. Couple of pics for your thoughts on way.

Trouble is I obviously love the 95c.

Just send it to me

Oh come on Vv. I was counting on you, Green and Jerry as a minimum for some serious help. Funny though. But I don’t want to see that smoke yet and she don’t like offset packs?

 

[VirtueViolater]

Unfortunately that is the case the square packs are generally made for bottom hangers

 

[Wayno52]

Dang. I love that punch. Hmmm will keep for my next bird.

 

[VirtueViolater]

Have you tried strapping that square pack to the bottom?

 

[Wayno52]

Ah Vv, of course I have....... Now....., that looks good. Cheers will it affect flight at all?

 

[Wayno52]

And now need skid plate . Does ordering parts ever end? Don’t worry I just smacked myself for such a stupid question

 

[VirtueViolater]

I don't use a skid plate on mine and I've only killed one battery so far. There's only one way to find out strap it on there and take it for a flight

 

[Wayno52]

Ah you have a way with words my friend. I only fly on grassed areas anyway so should be fine. Hmmm that means I have to land there as well. Love a challenge Vv

Wayno,

I have a couple of birds that carry packs on their backs. I don't have any packs like the square one you're using. I'll attach pics of the packs I'm using. I also see that you are wrapping the straps around the entire bird (top & bottom plate. I only wrap around the top plate. My Chameleon is similar to you Tyrant and there's not much space in there but I was able to strap to the top plate without rubbing on my electronic components.

Thanks Jerry, I just don’t have the room for the straps for top mount. I can get 1 at the front of the bird but not a second for the back. Maybe I can find thinner straps?
