Technically you don't need to, but I did.
For $30.00, you get antenna diversity and redundancy-cheap insurance on your machine, sir. You can just see the antennae of the satellite sticking out horizontally from the tail boom mount, behind the canopy:

You do not need an extra satellite on the Warp 360. I flew without one for quite awhile without any issues.

It's all on you, as Ah Clem mentioned, it cant hurt (got $30 burning a hole through your pocket?) but it is not needed.
I use one with no extra satellite and I fly my heli like a 600. Only thing I do is secure the antennas so they stick out instead of flop wherever they want.

Before asking this question myself, I flew without a satellite and had no issues, and did not know any better so it didn't affect my psyche. The field I fly is pretty big and I fly in all orientations doing what I'd categorize as light 3D.
Then I did some research and while I had no issues, and the research did not suggest I would necessarily have issues, I did learn a great deal about diversity, and did not feel comfortable from that point on until I got a satellite. Ignorance is bliss, but now that you have asked the question, the question you have to ask yourself is, are you comfortable without one?

You learned about signal diversity, but where did you mount your satellite?
The vast majority of the photos I see posted on the forums (any heli) and helis I see in person have the satellites mounted poorly (too close to the frame, under something, too close together, etc...) or flat out incorrectly. So, post as pic. I've even seen people who have posted links to the breakdown of signal diversity (written by an Australian engineer) mount them incorrectly... even after reading the entire multi-page spread. Point being, if you mount it incorrectly then there is no point in even having it in the first place.

Oops, thought that was your pic, I meant like Wapmiguel. before replacing my AR7200BX due to frying it in a pondl i had the ARBX antenna coming through a small plastic tube strategically mounted at the front of the heli, and a satellite exactly where you have yours on the butt, outstretched to the side of the tail. it is much easier on my 700E. one attached to the plastic skid leg, and one extending above the top of the heli frame, away from the motor.
