Can the astriods frame cage be mounted before

[Epoweredrc]

I just finally after forever of waiting for the astriods canopy braces to be in stock got to order one last week, not sure if I'm ever going to get it, slow slow shipping, but anyways.
i wanted to know, since i never had one, Can it be mounted before you mount the electronics? or does it need to be mounted last? Also guess the lower mount for BL motor need to go on before the cage.

for any who don't know what I talking about here the link http://astroid-designs.myshopify.com...px-carbon-cage

looking at the pics I guess you can do it on a bare frame then add everything later but wanted to ask those who has used it.

this is on my black dragon mcpx, the frame using now is a old one with broken pins and canopy barley stays on it in flight.

Thought i would give this a go, Still don't think I want to go aftermarket frame on this bird since it does hit the ground sometimes, as its my real life sim. and i am still not 100% sure on aftermarket frames what all will fit what, as in landing skids, tail booms and such.

Did find a Xtreme frame on ebay for like $20 but not sure if its any good, that the cheapest one i ever seen

I just put one together yesterday.
I glue everything first. All the CF: cage braces, motor mount brace, and side braces. You must glue the side races to the front part, too. And you can do a much better glue job with no electrics in the way. The servos fit nicely after the cage is assembled.

And , you have less chance of wrecking a servo with CA this way.

Thanks, that is good to know , and yeah I guess that is true also about the CA, thin CA gets places you don't want it to.
