Any reason why my preferred mount option is not supported?

I would be happy to have a vertical mount option available.

Hello,

each model has designed spot for gyro mounting. This mounting position is designed so to allow the best conditions for the unit.

Normally any such position is not recommended for a various reasons. For example because aileron axis can achieve the highest vibrations and overal acceleration. Model can do a very sharp movements in this axis. So placing unit in this way will cause to bounce it bigger than when mounted normally.
Also such position is very insecure.

Also I hope you have not connected a Telemetry sensor at the EXT/RPM/E2 port. This will cause crash. E2 pin should be unused.

Thanks for the hint, I noted the issue at another post.

You should put an explicit warnig to the instructions page, that other E2 pins must stay unconnected, otherwise a crash will result.
