The trick is to get a Concord RG Battery and lay it on its side. That way you save about 3 inches.You build a shelf from the longeron to the nose gear tunnel and secure the battery to the shelf with angle-alluminum and long hose clamps. Works great and you can now take the basketball player for a ride.
