Ok, thanks, Cao. For my distances, it probably won’t matter but I’ll see if I can find some 3D printed stand-offs for the antennas.
Cheers!

Greg not sure if this is of any help.
16mm Antenna Mount.stl (81.1 KB)
I made this for one of my rigs
Ricky,
Thanks for the 3D mount. I ended up just running the coax through some nyrod plastic outer tubing and crossing them in an inverted V formation. The assembly can slide along the carbon tube if I need to remove the R12L.
My Skydroid finally came in. The tracking info provided in the Aliexpress site was for someone else’s order. I had been out of town and it arrived while I was gone but was just put in my office without anyone letting me know. In any event, looks like everything’s in good order and have started to install it in an Opterra 2m BNF where I pulled out the Spektrum AR636A to retrofit an mRo Pixhawk 1. Here are some pix of the installation and my thoughts of the M12L so far.
Some installation pix. Comments are certainly welcome.
I had this mount printed and boy she’s a bit tight. I think it’s snug enough that you can eliminate the lip you added by the “front door”. I think that would make it slide in easier so both the mount and UVC can be stored in the Tx case separately. It fits really well in the hole.
Thanks.
Hi rollys,
Could you turn the R12L around so that you can extend the antennas away from the electronics?
I have an Opterra 2M wing also with a Pixhawk v2.4.8. Maybe this spring I’ll replace my ULRS setup with my second R12L.
Cheers!
Yes, but I was trying to keep it farther from the VTx. I suppose it was a choice between 2 evils. I was also thinking of running them outside the fuselage, one facing towards a wing and the other on the opposite side pointing aft.
Nice to know but it has so strong signal that for a standard quad that never fly so far you can make mistakes and still have full signal, for that reason Im going to install one rx in my racer to hide antennas and still can fly arround trees I hope. Looks funny
Its a pitty that we crash a big long endurance flying wing during calibration nice to test this but not with M12L rx yet, human pilot bad landing.
You didn’t have to do that! Thank you very much. I really appreciate that. I’ll have it printed and will report back.
Thanks.
No worries
Glad to help
Hi all, just a quick update, so no one else sends PM.
It is sold.
Thank you.
Alex
thank you Cao for lovely C N Y present you are amazing in fact brilliant,just now maybe a smaller receiver for my & inch medium range quad and wing “Skydroid the very best”.
Great to see the M12L now having a nice family and enjoyment,
Thanks Cao, nice solution, love products with great support
Just tried it auwsume it just works, need to get small receiver for my 600mm wing,and thank you Ricky for the UAC holder works brilliantly.
P/S Cao overseas family love you
Very nice!
Thank you Cao for the support!
Thank you Ricky for the Community Manual and Skydroid Dropbox.
The overlay works well and integrates it seamlessly with QGC. As a matter of fact, it works out better as it gives you the option to position the video wherever you prefer. Then, be able to record the video to boot! Excellent!
Thanks.
Hi Cala,Ricky and Greg,I have a small 600mm wing I can just about fit a M12L receiver in it,my question would it be o/k to mount my flight controlle on top of the receiver or would there be to muck interference,many thanks
I hope you not have problem, you have to optimice all if you want to go long range.but rx doesnt have reasons to interfere with Fc
