Any E6-550 owners using AR7200BX and if so, can you share pics of its location?
I'm thinking of mounting the AR7200BX on one of the front CF trays, but it's not obvious how to best run the antenna wires.
The rear deck at the top of the tail boom looks large enough for the AR7200BX to mount to also, but it really doesn't look like JR intended for an FBL unit to be mounted there. Also, what are your pot settings and tail gyro gain setting? I'm using the stock combo servos.

Why not mount it on the upper front deck?

The problem is the two antenna wires coming out the same side of the AR7200BX. I've always let the short one stick out perpendicular to the boom and the AR7200BX manual's installation pics show it like that. I'd have to drill a hole in the canopy and push the wire through it on every flight. With my luck, by flight #20 or so, the damned wire would break off.
One possibility would be mounting the AR7200BX a bit to the right (when facing the front) on the upper front deck. That might give the short antenna enough room to not touch the canopy. Not sure, though, how not having the BX centered might affect flight behavior.

Could you show me where your satellite receiver(s) is/are located? Thanks!
