Nice clean installation Wedj. Good to see your old school method using foam everywhere. Thats how mine look. It drives me nuts to see how some of the bigger hi dollar airplanes just have the receivers velcroed to the airframe with nothing for shock protection. Another thingthat has always bothered me is the lack of shock mounting for the switch. The switch is one of the weakest link in the system. I don't usethe dinky switches that come with the radios but instead use something more substantial. I also shock mount the switches using servo grommets between th
e airframe and the switch when possible. Call me "old school" but vibration is a killer especially with a screamin' 2cycle. Beautiful airplane! regards Sugarfox
