Configuration?
You mean just mounting APM?
I used 1/4" balsa and cut two pieces and glued them to the sides of the compartment, then I put some vibration dampening rubber stuff (like for mounting heli gyros) on top of them and put a shelf on top. Then I put the APM on more vibration dampening stuff and rubber banded it onto notches cut in the shelf.
I put the compass all the way to the back of the plane, and embedded the airspeed about a foot out on the wing (at the apex of the A on "apprentice")
There's no good way to mount a camera, but as an experiment I mounted one of the little 808 cameras on a micro servo pointing straight down. The micro servo does an excellent job counteracting roll, but there's too much vibration from the motor.
