Trex 550 question
 

What position are you guys mounting the carbon fiber mount plate in - the upper or lower position, and why? I've thought about this and my reasoning for maybe putting it in the lower position would be to have a place to mount the rx. I figured this would be safer than mounting the rx. to the bottom plate in case of a crash.
I'm also trying to determine the best position to mount the flybarless control unit. Where have you guys determined is the best place for it? I wanted to put it up close to the gyro unit but the leads wouldn't reach to the bottom of the heli where I want to mount the rx.
Thanks.

There are many opionions on this I didn't use the tray. I have my Rx mounted on the botom plate with the 3g unit sensor mouted on the anti-rotation bracket. To date I've had no issues with this locations. The heli flys great. no wag or other issues. I fly light 3d (still learning ). As far as the 3g sensor goes I used 1 of the included gyro pads under the sensor with great success. I don't know what your running or planning to run for batteries, I'm running the Gens ace 5300mah 6s battieries from hobbyparts. They are rated at 25c which I've been told by a friend who also uses them that this is a conservative rateing, & they can be charged at a 5c rate. At a cost of $95.00 shipped very cost effective. :D
Hope this info helps. Keep us posted on how you make out.
