How to mount the GPS speed meter for RC racing or flying?

It is recommended to use VELCRO or other fastening tape to mount the speed meter onto your RC cars, planes or helicopters. The GPS antenna can pick up signals through glass and plastic but will not pick up signals through metal or other conductive surfaces.

To avoid interference with the GPS signal, make sure that the GPS antenna is not covered or shielded by any object containing metal. Due to this fact, please try to mount the meter on top as possible as you can.
