1. I had some .062 carbon accent panel laying around (from cstsales.com) and decided to use it to do two things: secure the receiver below it and give me a platform on which to mount the Schulze 18.97KW ESC I will be using.
2. You can see (sort of..the pic is fuzzy) how little clearance there is between the side of the receiver and the top of the servo box on which the upper plate will be mounted; so with a little strip of servo tape it will be a nice tight fit.
3. The holes I drilled into the ESC plate were then countersunk so my screw heads will be flush with the surface. I may end up trimming the length of both the plate I made and the carbon fiber radio plate below it, but I won't know until later.
