Gyro & RX placement

[heli8062]

Was looking around and couldnt find anything on where do you place the gyro and the receiver on a 450 align. Does it matter or does it have to be balanced out with other electronics

You don't want all the electronics on one side of the heli, a balanced heli makes a lot of difference during fly time.
What gyro do you have?
I have the Futaba receiver as on this link and the gyro, a quark, under neat the tail holder, upside down with a M2 double sticky tape.
Have you decided what charger do you want?
Here is another link, look for Slyster and His charger combo

Im using a jr gyro and spektrum rx where did you mount the gyro ? not sure yet on charger still searching options

Under neat the tail Boom holder on the sev2, the flat metal part.
It is a pain because when you have to replace the tailboom you have to get a new double side sticky tape and scrap off the old one but I don't like it on the top either.Maybe a blade will hit it if is in the top. Nor even on the front as on the last picture;I'm afraid to have a nose in crash and good bye gyro$.

Or something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICRO-HELI-A...item232296d693

It is expensive, but I found one on the for sale for $8.00
It is mounted on the heli frame and goes under the boom holder.
