Every one is different, depends on how far back u move the bulkhead especially if you fitted a valver!

[fearless]

The one on Bretts Nova - I made out of a flat sheet of Carbon Fibre

I made a template out of cardboard to be sure it fitted and then cut it out of Carbon Fibre - sanded the edges and fitted it

Be sure to insulate/cover the terminals on the battery - carbon fibre is a very good conducter !!!!!!!

[novamadman]

iv got bigger things to worry about lol

ive told you, your plan is silly, know one is going to buy your aeroplanes :roll:

[R1CH]

I welded a L shaped bracket at either side, then stuck it on with some velcro, could do with some kind of supoort in the middle as well.
Its dead simple to make one ... get a peice of card and cut it to so it just fits between the wings then lay it in place and draw a line along the bulkhead bit to get the shape, cut some bits out for the hinges and thats the template done !! ;)

Only pics i've got showing the brackets
