UAV GPS Post Mount XT90

Decided to use an XT90 power connector for a GPS post mount instead the post mounts that come with the GPS modules. Can unplug the GPS mount and lay down for storage. Folding mounts sometimes require longer cables and make the UAV longer when folded down.

GPS in pictures is an M8N from Hobby King.

On base XT90 connector, drill a 2.5mm hole in the center of the connector pins and thread with a 3mmx0.5mm tap. May have to hold the pin to prevent if from spinning. Then cut off the solder cup that sticks below the connector. The base piece provides space for the the stub that may still be on the connector. A drill guide is in the files that you can hold where you want to drill the 3mm holes in the UAV plate.

Base pieces with Hover1 in the name are designed for the Hover-1 frame from FoxTech.
