Everything I need to place parts for a Stratux build

Everything I need to place parts for a Stratux build. Everything fits and works as it should. An antenna cutout would be a nice addition for a future version of the case.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Suction not very good

The suction cups worked fine the first few times but then they just stopped holding the receiver upright. Also, part of the standard GoPro tripod/mount broke very quickly - had to be replaced with another.

Pros
  • Test for a year
Cons
  • Not the best

Decent case for ADS-B

This is a good case, it looks like a perfect fit 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 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…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great case but needed some tweaking (uneven straps)

I like the material this case is made of! antennas above 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
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

ATTENTION! Slightly larger than the standard Stratux case!

This is my favorite Stratux build kit. 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 mate with some accessories (such as the suction cup mount sold by Stratux) and will not mate with ADS-B antennas with cables less than 5 inches long (such as antennas sold by Stratux). The 978 antenna doesn't fit at all.) You'll need SummitLink USB radios and several…

Pros
  • Sleek and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
