What was your final configuration for mounting the receiver? Looks like you changed the mounting a few times in the pictures. I'm trying to mount the same receiver and am having a hard time figuring out the best place to mount it because of the short antennas.
The picture with it stripped and sitting on top of the flight controller is its final configuration. The one with the blue tubes holding the antennas on the ESCs. I have had to take it apart again and coat it in liquid electrical tape and the bottom is thoroughly covered with double sided tape but it works. My first Satellite got fried by the vtx channel button gouging it so it took a few extra tries.
As long as the antennas arent deep inside carbon you should be fine. The only one Ive had problems with signal loss is the Wasp and all it took was pulling the antennas out of the top plate to solve that problem. If you decase it be sure to coat and cover it in something as they are quite fragile.
Wow, that sure is a bargain bin price. How's the quality of all the parts?

Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
