Designed a battery tray to use aftermarket batteries in the Typhoon H. I screwed up and made it a bit too short so I had to cut out the back of it. I need to add a latch. My cost at Shapeways was $44 with a 15% coupon.
It fits perfectly in the battery compartment of the H. I will make some modifications to the model file and have another one printed.
Waiting for the battery to charge fully before doing a test flight. I used a Multistar 4s 6600 mAh battery. I changed the connector to an XT-60 instead of the XT-90 that was on it. The overall weight is just a few grams heavier than the regular Typhoon H battery. I am not really expecting longer flight times, just a cheaper source of batteries. These batteries cost $42.75 from Hobbyking.
