Battery Box for Multistar 6sx5200mah 10C lipo by billyd

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a battery box and cover for a Multistar 6sx5200mah 10C lipo. I developed this box for the Firefly6 but it could be used for just about anything using this lipo. Unfortunately the box will stick out above the wing of the Firefly6 (and flush with the bottom of the wing), so I developed farings to go around the top perimeter of the the box to create smoother airflow over it. If you use this for the Firefly6, you'll need to print two of each file. However, on the second print set, the box, and all the faring files will be needed to be mirrored about their longest dimensions to create a right and left hand set.
When installing this in the FF6, you'll need to cut the inside-most edge of the existing battery box such that the rear inside corner of the printed boxes touch the composite frame of the center fuse. The protusion for the power cable (on the box print) will be closer to the front of the wings. Also you'll need to cut the existing box through to the bottom of the wing (removing the installed magnets in the process). Go to the RCgroups thread for the Firefly6 and see my posts there using these printed parts for more info. You can search my posts in that thread to find them (billyd60 is my name on RCG).
