Can someone post a pic on how you mounted your spectrum receiver with remote.
I have a R50

Thanks

I will post one when I get home. Still need to lash it down but got it in with thick dbl sticky foam.

I put the receiver in a receiver wrap and the remote I used that thick green double sided gell stuff and mounted it to the back of the throttle servo. sorry no picks but I think you can figure out what I did.

I did pretty much what Vandlescrow did:

I wrapped the main rx in a foam/velcro reciever wrap, then I uses double-sided sticky tape to mount the remote reciever (I have to get some of the gel stuff he mentioned.

I am not a big fan of mounting the main reciever with just a layer of double-sticky foam tape, as you often see these days. I want some crash protection, and lots of vibration isolation.

I ended up putting the main RX on the battery tray at the back with the antenna vertical and the remote up on the top of the servo tray just in front of the pitch arm going horizontal.
I used velcro for the main and two layers of servo tape for the remote. The two antenna are about 3"-3.5" apart.

I liked the throttle servo idea, but I have my wiring going on that side.

Thanks

One other thing???
Will the main be okay on velcro? It holds good and should absorb the vibration???

Here´s my setup..
Main rx is wrapped in layer of old mouse pad foam and attached to servo tray with two layers of thick 2 sided foam tape.
Satellite rx has 2-3 layers of foam tape and I drilled holes to frame so I could secure it with zip tie if needed.
Rx battery is wrapped in layer of mouse pad foam + shrink wrapped. One layer of 2- sided foam tape keeps it in place and two zip ties secure it.
Regulator is held in place by that same 2-sided tape and secured with velcro tie.
