Hi George!

Okay...

This is what does not make sense.

The G6 and G-14 were already be produced with the MW50, yet none had the Battery moved to this cargo hatch position.

Even in the K series, the battery was moved only 1 section forward (from section 5 to section 4).

The 1944 G manual shows the ZBK241 at the first aid hatch, along with the compass. When the MW50 and pressure bottles for the Mk108 took up more space in the fuselage, everything was shifted around (Mutterkompass went to rear of aircraft in section 7, battery to section 4).

The K manual shows the ZBK241 in this cargo hatch area, and as the G-10 was designed to be as close to the K as possible, it would make sense it too was also in this position (?)

It does not make sense to move the battery to this cargo hatch position ONLY for the G-10/U4...no other aircraft had it there.

I spoke with a few people who have recovered remains of various G-10's, and they do not recall ever finding a battery in this position. They all confirmed it as being ZBK241.

Moving the battery from section 5 to the cockpit area, is a HUGE jump, as compared to only moving it 1 section in the K. And the weight difference was not much between the K and G-10...

So I guess this is where the confusion is...

Hmmmm...
