RX8R Heli Boom Mount

thingiverse

This boom mount is specifically designed for the FrSky RX8R receiver with PCB antennas, perfect for a 21.5mm boom size that's commonly used on helis like my Trex 550, also shared by the Trex 600 and 700 models. I created this quick fix in just a few minutes to get my heli ready for the weekend and it seems to be working really well so far. Currently, I've got the antennas zip tied into place but I plan to modify the design to make them lock in securely if there's enough interest from others. The mount is designed to print without supports, requiring a printer that can handle 45-degree overhangs with ease. With this setup, I haven't experienced any signal issues and I fly big air at a reasonable distance from myself.
