Review on πŸ“‘ Enhanced Stratux ADS-B Kit Case with Dual Fans, AHRS Module, and GPYes - SummitLink V3 (Clear) by Tyson Mosucka

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ATTENTION! Slightly larger than the standard Stratux case!

This is my favorite Stratux case. I've built a few for myself or for friends. This fits all modules plus two fans and comes with all sorts of mounting options. BUT you should know that this is not a standard case. It will not fit some accessories (such as the suction cup sold by Stratux) and will not fit ADS-B antennas with cables less than 5 inches long (such as those sold by Stratux). A 978 antenna is not enough at all.) You will need SummitLink USB radios and several different antennas. I recommend NooElec antennas with 6 inch cables (there will be an extra cable that you can hide in the case). As some other reviewers have pointed out, it's not the strongest, thickest piece of plastic in the world. None of mine broke, but I didn't put much effort into putting them together either. Be a little careful not to break the tabs and such when you take it apart and put it back together. Finally, don't forget to install the tape! When I put them together I always seem to forget to put the strap in the case and then have to open everything back up to put the strap in there. The strap is really handy for attaching the battery to the Stratux. You can use small rubber feet to keep the battery away from the case so the battery doesn't heat up with the case.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few small things
