Hello,
i am searching for some idea for 2 RX, 1 ECU and smoke pump battery trays that will be located in my TJ F-16 nose. The idea is to be able to remove them without a hassle and still have them secured.
Of course the best thing would have been if the nose was removable but this is not what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

If you could take a picture that would give people a better idea of the space you are dealing with. On many jets there is a platform that is glued flat in the nose. Then they have a platform that slips on top and keys in to the front of the glued one with a bolt on the back so you can remove. The other option is use ions for rx and life for ecu and you do not need to remove to charge.

have used old style wood fixed lg mount blocks as "drawer slides" to mount equipment trays in the hard to get a places.
then just a large screw head/washer screwed in over the slot end will keep it secure.

Have you considered building/adapting a battery tray often used in F3A airplanes?

I have used these for many years and they are easy to remove and work very well

Cut a piece of 3 mm ply & cut the front to a point to fit into the nose of the model.

Then glue some balsa block to the top & bottom of the ply & sand it to a cone shape to wedge into the nose of the model.
This will secure it up & down & side to side.

At the rear secure it with some screws to some hardwood glued to a former or some hardwood glued to each side of the fuselage.

Hold your batteries in place on the ply with some balsa strips & zip ties. This idea worked fine on a Savex F-16.

it would work on for a single accessible battery. Not sure it would work in my application where i need to place 3 batteries inside nose cone and still be able to remove them without a hassle.
Thank you anyway as this tray could be used in a different setup though.

Been using these in my F-15. And I have a couple more on the way for my PC-21. Joe is awesome to work with too. If you have a custom size battery he will print to that dimension. Very easy to take in and out of your jet.
