Need suggestions for ant wire mounting with AR7200BX on 450 Pro

dpinvidic · 06-27-2012, 04:22 PM

I m loooking for some ideas on the best way to hold the ant. wires of a AR7200BX.
I am mounting in on the gyro platform so it is easy access. The wires need to be purpendicular to eachother. Was thinking of tywrap, but maybe someone has a better method. Pictures would be great.

Thanks,

Dan

this is on my 500 but should work with the 450, i just drilled small hole and ziptied the ant

I like that...but that does not look like a 450-pro.
For some reason my gyro plate does not stick out past the base of the AR7200BX.
I can't find a place to run the ty-wrap thru. I "might" drill a hole in the flange of the tail-boom support case for the ty-wrap. But I would like my wires to look like what you have.

I put a extra eyelet on the boom and passed the longer ant through.
I also bought the tarrot anti rotation bracket FBL version works and looks sweet.

Sweet idea...and way too simple...so glad I asked.

Thanks,

Dan

+1 I've seen pics of a 500 with the extra tail control rod guide with the loop on top of the boom and the long antenna running through it running parallel to the boom. If I had mine mounted on the top of the boom mount, I'd probably do it that way.

Here are some pics of mine and how I did them

I protected it with shrink wrap first so that it wouldn't come in contact with the CF frame then zip tied it half way down to ensure that it stayed in place

Look in the beastx manual, they show a pic of a trex 450...

The way they show it is too loop it back thru the anti rotation bracket and use it as an anchor.
I personally didn't like that at all. When you go full negative you would be hitting it

no you drill a tiny hole in the anti rotation bracket right next to where the pin rides. then thread the antenna through. have it like this on my pro and it is tidy and looks great. Plus its what is recommended in the manual
