Default Hobby Eagle A3 gyro installation

I am installing this gyro in my airplane and I need suggestions regarding placement. How far does it need to be from the receiver or battery to avoid interference? Is there a rule of thumb to avoid issues?

Thanks in advance.

You need to say what radio you are using.
That said I don't know why a gyro would create interference. There are no rf components in there I know of.
I put gyros on the CG if I can.
I have one mounted on the top of my receiver.

I am using a Spektrum AR6200 receiver. I have heard some folks say that gyro's can pick up interference from receivers if located too close.
Just not sure what too close is.

Thanks.

As I said I have one mounted on the top of my receiver. It flies fine.

Sounds like a good topic for "Mythbusters". My Eagle A3L is next to my Futaba Rx with no issues.

No issue and being at or near the CG doesn't help or hurt
