Hi!

I recently got my PowerSystem Sport Plus which i will use in my SD-Model 30% Extra 260. What is the best way to mount the PowerSystem? Can i just screw it on? I don't think the receiver and the PowerSystem likes vibration.

BTW: I'm new to gas

I talked Smart-Fly about this when I got my first one, and they said that the rubber grommets are just fine. I simply make a mount appropriate for mounting the expander on the grommets, and bolt it down. Haven't had any issues doing this with two planes.

Here's how I did it on my Dalton 260. Has been working just fine for at least 100+ flights.

Thanks for the answers. The way you're mounting it is much easier than suspending it in rubber band like someone does with their Powerboxes...

Yep! Mines pretty much like Super Daves.

I added what I think will be a little more vibration dampenning - I have about thirty flights on this set-up with no issues.

We mounted PE's on aluminum standoffs and just on the rubber grommets supplied.....

Thanks for the replies! But now I've got another small problem. Where do I mount it?

#1 On top of the canister tunnel
#2 Partly on the canister tunnel
#3 Partly on the canister tunnel and partly on the rudder tray

I think #2 and #3 are the best looking options, but I'm worried about interference from the rudder servo, especially with #3. Whats do you guys think?

I wouldn't suggest putting the expander right on top of the servo, but it doesn't necessarily need to be a million miles away from it either. Look at mine. My rudder servo has a speed 400 in it. If anything is going to generate noise, that monster will out do any standard size one. Looking at the photo above, one can see that I am a few inches away, and everything is A O K.

Where do you get the Pull Pull adjustment hardware I see in your pics...A white pice to run the cable through and a turnbuckel set up for adjustments???????

Thanks Freddy! Then I will try to mount it just in front of the rudder servo (Hitec 5955 if that matters). This is the easiest way to get it mounted, but if I get interference I will move it. Will post my results here if anyone is interested...

Not to change the subject, but I ask smart-Fly a while back about proximity of the Turbo reg, and the expander concerned about possible interference. The way I have my stuff mounted is exceptable. Look at your expander, The reg is right at where the receiver will be mounted.

Remember to route the antenna to a clean path away from everything.
