Securing LiPo

[liquidlightning]

How are you supposed to secure a LiPo to the frame? I have an SK450 and Zippy 5000 3s. I tried using a velcro strap to strap it to the bottom, but it slides around with any real movement, and could easily fall out. How do you mount these?

I bought some velcro tape (the back side is sticky) and stuck it to my battery and another to a corresponding spot on the frame (I don't have a photo). I still use the velcro strap to keep it fastened to the frame but the additional velcro keeps it from moving around. I think Scott (aka Motopreserve) built an aluminum battery tray http://www.multirotorforums.com/sho...d-thread-lessons-and-learning-to-follow/page4 See post #33

Before I attach the velcro tape, I first wrap my batteries with clear wrapping tape or clear duct tape to protect the cheaper battery wrapping yape from the adhesive backing on the velcro tape. It makes a better bond.
