Everything fits perfectly

Raspberry Pi fits perfectly. The antenna cable routings are well thought out. The internal GPYes fits perfectly, including the USB fan connector. Contrary to other reviews that say that Summitlink is not suitable for Stratux UAT, this does not apply to the V3 version of Summitlink.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • It was possible to choose a newer model

Very nice and spacious case. My favorite.

LONG-TERM USERS. I like that it's bigger than the original case and the second one I tried. I feel like more air can circulate. I have upgraded my SDRs to good ones with these large heatsinks. The problem is that it fits the USB fan. Radiators are too big. I put the fan aside and it still works. At some point I'll stick it on. It is black. Looks very sharp. Significantly sharper than in the white housing. The temperatures are the same or lower than in the old building. Worth every penny.

Pros
  • Inexpensive
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Not perfect, but it works.

Everything looks well thought out. Compatible with all current Stratux installation features, including a new slimline USB connector for a second fan, allowing you to continue using the internal GPS with no installation hassle. The only issue I had with this case was that the top of the case broke the clips that are held in the bottom half as soon as I received it and opened the rearmost Raspberry Pi bay. Another issue is that it doesn't even include 4 screws to attach the board to the case. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High-quality assembly
Cons
  • Minor defects

Great case! for computers and accessories

I built my first Stratux before commercial cases were available (Raspberry Pi cases were available but not all the features of the Stratux itself). I ended up having to upgrade the GPS/AHRS chip, so I figured it would be nice to have fan control and a custom case. Two fans cool the electronics - they work well. The 6 smaller suction cups are strong enough to hold the Stratux and large battery to an airplane window. The strap that secures the battery to the case is very strong (just be carefulโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not the best

Decent case for ADS-B

This is 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, aren't even molded plastic so the board wobbles a bit 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.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Some little things

Great case but needs some adjustments (uneven straps)

I like the material this case is made of! In the end I placed the reyax ry836ai (GPS+AHRS) module under the Raspberry Pi board. and screw 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. I heated the knife and cut the tip off one of them and now myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Communication with seller
