Hi Jim,

I made a support plate for the two sockets and glued it to the inside of the fuselage. If the fuse is carbon fiber like my Synergy make sure the sockets are insulated using heat shrink tubing, since carbon fiber is a good conductor!

As you can see the support plate is made up by a piece of fiberglass plate (fiberglass insulates) and a piece of balsa wood. The gold 4mm sockets were glued directly to the fiberglass plate and afterwords the sockets were covered with the heat shrink tubing. Then the balsa block was glued to this assembly and lastly the complete assembly was glued to the inside of the fuselage. It has worked well, and the fuse does not flex the slightest when it is being "armed".
