Default trex guts layout

Trex CDE
align 420L motor
align 25A ecs
3 hitec Hs56
1 hitec Hs50
hitec electron 6 receiver
deans micro 2pc ant
futaba gy401

the battery obviously hangs out the front
and the servos all have a home

i found that the rx fits (wedged) in place in the very back of the heli under the boom, so far i like it here if someone has some good reasons why its no good tell me please

the ecs i was thinking of hanging under the motor with zip ties, would that restrict the air through the motor?

doing all of that there is a large cavity under the main gear that is unoccupied and free, woudl the gyro be alright here or is that too close to the noisy electronics, i had heard that on a crash the flybar can hit the gyro in the standard spot and i have that space open

i would put the esc on the side, out of the airspace around the motor...and try to keep it away from the RX.....put the gyro in the usual spot....just tighten up the head dampening with the SE supplied collet washers.....shouldnt give you any probs.
