"On my F550 APM1 I have the GPS mounted on the bottom plate and it seems to work fine, but the magnometer is picking up allot of interference. I planning to move the magnometer to the top to see if its better there."

"Along the same lines...if you mount a APM 2 board inbetween the plates do you need to run the GPS externally or will it acquire a signal from inside?"

DJI F550 Measurments

I am planning to buy a DJI F550 frame for my ardupilot, my home made frame is not as perfect and strong as I would like it to be and figured it will be easier just to buy a proper frame. I was hoping if someone that already have a F550 can tell me how large the space between the top plate and the bottom plate is (Height x Width x Length), I was wondering if I can mount the APM1 board between the two plates instead of on top of the frame. See More
