Thanks for showing us.
What's that brown coloured oblong plate you've put in front of the battery box cover?
And do I gather that you mount your battery vertically in the centre of the battery box? If so, how is it secured?
(BTW, isn't there a car wash nearby . . . ;D)

Thanks...
The “plate” is a rectangular sheet of model aircraft plywood fastened by two #4 woodscrews to the bottom of the firewall and two more to the front lip of the battery box assembly (ideally creating one solid unit). On top of that is a narrower plywood rectangle that protrudes under the cowl, which is screwed to it. It was all somewhat disguised by the mud on photo day. Recently I did some flying in the rain and it’s all nice and clean now -- same way I clean my car, except I don’t do belly landings in tall wet grass with the Kia.
The battery slides in vertically, yes, and is not fastened in any way.
