"There actually not that big, and there pretty thin as well.... Actually one cut in half fit the APM2.5 perfectly!"

Jake McCaig replied to James Y.'s discussion HT-FPV Build (and APM2 Adapter Board)"I'm interested in how your boards work. I drew up a simple plastic mount that I was considering, just don't know what I need. http://www.shapeways.com/model/680410/ardupilot-mega-2-5-mounting-adapter.html"

"Those have just sold out but I'm planning to get some more made and sent to 3dr. I just want to modify the design a bit so it fits the PX4 as well."
Will Snodgrass replied to Jake McCaig's discussion APM2.5 Mounting Adapter in the group ArduCopter User Group"Check these Carbon Fiber Plates out from diydrones. Ive been using the 2 of these with my APM in between on some small standoffs. There are plenty of possible mounting configurations and it's pretty easy to add a couple more holes if need…"
Jake McCaig replied to Jake McCaig's discussion APM2.5 Mounting Adapter in the group ArduCopter User Group"I did look into this,
It looks perfect, I just don't have the need for the circuitry, and I didn't want to order 3 of them lol. But all in all it looks cool."
Randy Brazeau replied to Jake McCaig's discussion APM2.5 Mounting Adapter in the group ArduCopter User Group"I'm building one now and just received my APM the other day. Slow start because of parts but getting there.

James made an adapter board and I purchased one from him. Very nice as he breaks out the…"

"So I guess you'll be mounting the APM2.5 out in the open (i.e. not inside the little semi-transparent boxes that they will eventually come with). In that case what you have there looks ok. I often use nylon screws and ruber grommets…"

Jake McCaig replied to Jake McCaig's discussion APM2.5 Mounting Adapter in the group ArduCopter User Group"woops! just changed it to public. I have been anticipating the enclosures, still looking for something I can screw down, rather than tape, velcro, or rubberband."

"Sounds cool, but that link doesn't allow public viewing. BTW, the official APM 2.5 enclosures will be out in about two weeks. And in the meantime, you can always use the bottom of the APM 2.0 enclosure (the boards are the same size)"

APM2.5 Mounting Adapter
Hey all,I've been slowly but surely assembling my first quad on my HT-FPV frame. I've been researching different mounting options for the APM 2.5 and many have been telling me to use double sided tape. In all my anal retentiveness, I just couldn't begin to think about taping such a great piece of equipment to my frame. I'm still waiting on my board to come in, however in the mean time, I've been tinkering in sketchup creating a mounting adapter with 60x60mm and 45x45mm spacing. In no way am…See More
Jake McCaig replied to James Y.'s discussion HT-FPV Build (and APM2 Adapter Board)"Do you still have any of these boards? I snagged your design and was going to order some but I don't need 3 lol. If you do I'd like to buy one from you.
