First off, i'm in the final stages of building...

I am trying to find the ideal places for the mounting of all my electronics. Here is what I'm thinking...try to visualize this one
Up front-battery
behind the motor-gyro
behind gyro-esc (or under the chassis)
above battery on upper frame-rx

Now here is my reasoning. Having the gyro near the middle should create better results theoretically, the esc should be far from rx right? The rx is up top away from everything, the only thing near is the battery and yes my radio fit there with a canopy What do you think, is it a good set up or no...It is just a preliminary thought all input is great.

Next question, I have everything assembled and locktight/CAed except for my control links...do i need to ca them or not? I can't decide if i should or not, well I won't untill i have my servos installed anyway but just wondering.

Last, How tight to make the dang belt, the manual says you should almost be able to touch the two sides together but I find it nearly impossible to make it that tight and when I do it makes it harder to spin the rotors...I am assuming there is a happy medium somewhere any pointers?

thanks all!
