Cool! Thanks for posting that.

It looks cool. (: 

However (and I know things shouldn't end up upside down, but hey, strange things happen), it looks like it would break and damage the tower in the event of an accident?  Or would it simply come away?

Also, intersting in the picture are the two LEDs?  Are they navigational, GPS/Arming or hazard?

Very well done Andy!

Another request for the LED description, like the mounting method :-)

I've been looking for this! THX

Thanks all! got some more to post soon, 

 The LED's are for GPS/ARM Status, they are 2 - 10mm RGB LED's that I had laying around connected to the APM on A7 & A6, set LED_MODE = 3 in Mission planner. (note Led's have 100ohm resistor to limit current)

(more info about external led's in this post here.. >> LINK  )

I will post the model of the led holder soon. 

also coming soon, is a small case for the telemetry "AirRadio"..

Do you know way DJi use this solution for GPS ?

for sure NOT !

Its not only cosmetic ...

@That's cool Andy! Did you manage a way for having a ground shield on the bottom part of the housing?

@Eduardo... just criticizing wouldn't help. ;)

It would be nice if you tell us why it does matter. So, what are you trying to say? Is that about the groun plate shielding? Is that about the tower height?
