Default Spektrum installation

I would like to know how to mount the Spektrum Rx? What should I use to hold it in the plane? Can someone post some picture of there installation?

On my installations that have Main and Satellite Receivers ... I wrap the body of the main reciever in 1/4 inch foam (keeping the end where the antennas are clear) and secure it with rubber bands. I use velcro (approx 1/2 inch square) to mount the satellite receiver. The Satellite receiver is very light and does not have much mass to it .... a little velcro holds it fine. Bob

The Velcro I use for the satellite receiver(s) is the self-stick type cut into about a 1/2 inch square. One piece placed on the reciever, the other on a flat piece of balsa (which has been mounted where you want it). Bob
