Suction isn't very good

The suction cups worked well the first few times, but then they just wouldn't hold the receiver up. Also, the regular tripod/gopro mount part broke very quickly - I had to replace it with another one.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Can hurt

Decent case for ADS-B

It's a good case, it looks like it would be perfect for ADS-B although it has two problems: The risers that the Pi board sits on are not once made of molded plastic so the board is a bit wobbly just sitting there. I had to take a knife and cut it to install the board. The board's power supply and HDMI don't match exactly, I can connect them by scraping off the plastic. The biggest problem are those little Rage fans. I was hoping to put it on the lobby window but they are so damn loud it'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • No performance

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. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few small things

Decent case for ADS-B

Nice case, it seems to fit perfectly for ADS-B, although it does have two issues: the risers that the Pi board sits on aren't even molded plastic, so it wobbles the board a little just sitting there. I had to take a knife and cut it to install the board. The board's power supply and HDMI don't match exactly, I can connect them by scraping off the plastic. The biggest problem are those little Rage fans. I was hoping to put it on the lobby window but they are so damn loud it's impossible. Evenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Avionics
Cons
  • No gun

Great case but needed some tweaking (uneven straps)

I like the material this case is made of! I then placed the reyax ry836ai (GPS + AHRS) module under the Raspberry Pi board and screwed the antennas over the board. (just because iPads without a cellular module don't have proper built-in GPS and you'll lose your position beyond 1000 feet). love for the material. It doesn't crack, it bends! The fans are loud, but you can't hear them in the cockpit. They weren't even out of the box.

Pros
  • Car electronics
Cons
  • High price
