When mounting sensors, is there any particular place they should be mounted? Do they need to be mounted on the outside of the fuse? Same with the GPS, mount on the outside or does it matter?

Thank you....

What sensors? An airspeed or optical sensor had better be outside, static pressure or GPS can be inside,...

Outside and unobstructed, they're optical.
Follow the FMA manual, it has good hints for mounting...

Thank you, very good.. They haven't arrived yet. I was expecting no manual like the case of so much FPV gear you get. :-)

The FMA thing isn't originally FPV-related... and all the manuals are available for download on their website. ;)
