Fitting out question.
I am fighting to find space to put all the gear in a BVM MiG15, up front in the nose are the two reciever packs, a lipo for the lights, receiver, main on/off switch, three battery charging sockets, lighting circuit board - all mounted on a two deck platform. Image below.
I know just behind the cockpit and infront of the main former is an area for equipment, and I have planned to mount the fueling connections, jet ecu link circuit board, two jet-tronics valves, air tank fill valves and gauges here, so now left with ECU, UAT, fuel pump, upgraded battery for turbine and fuel shut off valves.
Between the ducts and just below the cockpit floor is a good area for equipment, although not highly accessible a space nevertheless! Would there be any problems mounting the UAT - ECU - PUMP - FUEL SHUT OFF VALVES and LARGER BATTERY here? Do any of these items need to be spaced appart due to interference etc......
I have mounted the receiver right at the front so this is well away from the pump which I have been advised is preferable, should the ECU also be spaced appart from the pump?
Help greatly appreciated.

RE: Fitting out question.
Marc,
No problem with mounting the ECU and pump close together. The fuel pump motor has filter capacitors on the brushes, and should be electrically clean. The fuel solenoid valves aren't a problem either. Batteries are a clean source of power. All of the equipment you have mentioned can be mounted together, in any location of your choice.
The only suggestion I would make would be to mount the I/O board (you called it a "jet ecu link circuit board") in a location that will allow you to watch the LED's during the start up procedure, if you have a JetCat engine.
Route the receiver antenna away from all electrical wires and you should be home free.
You will love the way the BVM MiG flys!
