I was just wondering how you guys secure your UAT's into the fuselage. I am about to install one into a Comp-ARF Flash and need inspiration. The fuselage is pretty big and there is nothing obvious to secure it to so I guess I will have to make some kind of mount. I don't really enjoy doing things like this so am trying to come up with something really simple and easy.

Has anyone got any good pics of mounts they have made or other ingenious ideas to hold the UAT in place?

Hi
I hope this simple installation gives you inspiration.

In planes with lots of internal room, I build a lopsided "A" shaped mount from lite ply and Hysol that to the floor or sides, then strap my UAT to that. Here's a pic from my Boomerang XL that use this type mount.

I have also velcroed them to the side wall, a la Bandit ARF, or installed them vertically into precut holes in the equipment trays (a la KingCat).

The Flash comes with parts to make a mount for the supplied hopper tank. That's what I used and added some parts on the ends to keep it from sliding back and forth.

I usually just put velcro on my UAT's and mount them to the fuse. Easy, nothing to build.

I just used marine goop and stuck it to the floor and a cross member. its holding well.

Here is one crammed in a PST F-84G. Just make sure it is visible!!!
