After a PayPal dispute with Bev, I ordered gear through RC4Y...I thought it was a spinoff from them......I had no problems..got all my stuff.

I was wondering about those sites as well... wanted the same landing gear. rc4y.com looks like bevrc.com somehow. Anybody ordered the skywalker landing gear from theses guys?

As far as gear goes, the only thing I could find at bevrc is the rear wheel. does bevrc have the front as well? thats the only reason I was looking at the other two sites.

Anyone ever heard of this guy?

What is the optimal location of a GPS module on this plane? Nose, top of the horizontal stab maybe? Does it have to be horizontal/flat, or can it be mounted at any angle?

FWIW, I have a Vee antenna mounted just forward of the vertical stabilizer:

where did you get the Vee antenna?

Mounted horizontally (it uses a sky facing patch antenna), away from ESC and video Tx antenna.

OK, so sounds like right on the nose or on the canopy is going to be the best spot, or perhaps next to the pan/tilt module. I have some magnets imbedded in the nose to retain the canopy, I'm wondering if those will affect the GPS signal if I embed the module in the foam. I'm thinking right above the battery bay.

And yes, the Vee is from DPCAV.com!
