I am planning a heli drone build and have a couple questions. I will keep adding as I go.First, can I work the programming bugs out on a cheap 450 and then transfer the hardware to a bigger platform, such as a 500? I am sure it would require some tuning, but I want to avoid things like tip overs and crashes due to programming errors.Second, what is the requirement for the board location? I would like to set it up on the battery mount (perpendicular to the X a is of course.)Thanks much!

The board MUST be mounted flat in relation to the main rotor and with the arrow pointing forward. Other than that, as long as it is isolated from vibration and strong magnetic fields, it doesnt really matter where you mount it.
If you are going to transfer your setup from one heli to another, almost the entire setup process must be carried out otherwise you have a big (99%) chance of crashing it. IMO you would be much better off trying on your 450 and then setting it up from scratch on your 500. You could keep the radio calibration and radio setting though :)
By "programming errors" I assume you mean setup errors, because the system doesnt really have any programming errors as such.
