Reciever Location

[RENOV8R]

Just wondering if I can mount the receiver above the FCB? I don't think I'll have any interference problems but I thought I'd check first.

I've know people to mount their reciever under the flight controller, using really tall nylon standoffs. Mine is actually mounted hanging from the top of my frame. (If I could figure out how to shrink pictures on my phone I would post a picture)

That's OK, I know what you mean. I'm going to put it on top of the FCB with some 3mm standoffs

Does your reciever actually have mounting holes that match up with your FCB? Mine is rectangular shaped

No, I'm just going to make a plate with holes drilled to attach to the standoffs and velcro or sticky tape it on

Yep, in the bottom picture you can see it behind the battery lead

Looks like you got lots room there to set it on the frame with the connectors and wires facing up. Much less chance of them working loose. There's a lot vibration and add in some crashes too. Best you check them all time and make sure they are firmly seated. Looks like a potential problem to me, nor do I see a reason or purpose for mounting it that that way.

Just trying new things out, thinking about mounting my video Tx under it, and putting the antenna up through the hole where the battery lead is, and moving that somewhere else.

Don't know, it came with the kit.

Ohh, I built mine from scratch. You should do that next, it's really a rush when you get it all together and it runs perfectly

 

[RENOV8R]

When I say kit, yeah it was just parts so I had to build it First time, and I think I've changedthe layout 3 or 4 times. Going to change it again this weekend and put the ESCs back on the arms. They just take up too much room
