DJI F550 Antenna Poisitioning

Hi there guys,

Still building my F550 and need advice on where I should position my antennas. I am using:

NAZA GPS module

200mw 5.8Ghz FPV System (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15295__5_8g_200mw_FPV_Wireless_AV_Tx_Rx_Set.html) with spironet antenna (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...8GHz_Circular_Polarized_spiroNet_Antenna.html)

Frsky D8R-ii Plus receiver (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...bo_Pack_for_JR_w_Module_RX.html?strSearch=d8r)

I have already mounted the GPS module to the position in the picture and my Frsky Receiver is mounted just to the left of the centre (next to the naza) on the bottom plate with the 2 little antennae facing to the front of the copter (red arms).

My questions are:

1: Where/how should the 2 receiver antennae be positioned?

2: Where should I put my FPV system? Should it be sticking off the side of the centre board or should I mount it underneath on the landing legs. What way should the spironet antenna be facing, up or down?

Thanks guys,
Charlie

In my opinion, the 5.8mhz antenna should be mounted under one of the arms facing downwards if possible. That provides the least chance of the multi's body obstructing the signal. Mounting the transmitter itself you could also mount it on that same arm.
