I use to help Col Urschler with Gunfighter in 79-82 at Offutt AFB. The plane was parked outside my shop door in the hangar. Many times I was called in on a weekend for a navaids outage and he and his helpers would be working on it. It got damaged over in Iowa in 81 and brought back on a flatbed.

I have my admiral gyro receiver mounted next to the optional rudder servo mount. So definitely back from the CG a bit. It works great. You want to mount the battery where it needs to go to get correct CG. Other people might chime in but I have a few gyro receivers in planes and seldom get to mount them on CG. It's better the closer it is but not critical.

ChappySincl4ir I have seen posts about people losing control with them but haven't experienced any problems myself. I do use a mix of ex's spektrum, lemon, and admiral. I haven't been using satellite receivers but I recently purchased some to put in my 'active' planes. And will be what I do for all my future planes.

I had a 637T installed for testing purposes. RX on the Exact CG location doesn't matter. I had the 637 back by the servos as well as up on the arrow. I had the Admiral 600SP in the same places. All worked flawlessly. I did make an adjustment on the Admiral though. I mounted it on an old foam wing section wedge so I could get the front of the RX lower that the rear (about 15 deg). This made it so in Recovery Mode or Panic mode, the plane would fly level vs angled down. Don't know why the Panic mode was nose down, but the wedge corrected this issue. The Lemon has an actual leveling procedure where it truly levels in Panic.
