    No They wont, I asked Sang (I don't know if is a man or a woman) back in February if they would make some for the Graupner, I didn't get a reply.

    Dave, the tray is adjustable..The neckstrap attaches to the Tx tray, I use the double strap,
    Also you can change the brackets for the larger ones. http://www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?number=1334

    I thought maybe it was adjustable as they have two sizes. Transmitters over 180 mm from the base to the handle and those that are under 180mm.

    Nothing fit my radio either, so I had to build my own using cabinetboard and flat aluminum. graupner-.jpg
    It works great. Very comfy, well balanced, and the monitor is tiltable.

    Side Note: I (finally...) got my HobbyKing shipment in.

    These battery savers are a joy compared to the Mikrokopter ones. They only take a balance lead, they don't have an output like the MK ones. So if you hook up the balance lead inverted, it will short out the $2.00 sensor, NOT the LCD you purchased >:)

    Will this block the speaker on the back of a foxtech monitor? I have the standard 8" foxtech monitor where the speaker is right in the middle of the back of the monitor.

    Zach, it's probably worth pointing out that the MK device actually switches off the power from the LiPo if the voltage drops too low - whereas this one just beeps and illuminates LEDs -- so if you're airborne you can still have, say, a gimbal battery die and be below 3.3v per cell by the time you get the bird back.

    Of course, the HK device does have a very loud beeper so you might even hear it on the ground!

    I bought this one and within 2 hours of having it I bought the Seacraft unit. This unit has flemsy hardware and the monitor is held up with 2 very thin pieces of carbon fiber. The hardware for the hinge uses phillips head screws so you can't really tighten them down real tight. It coudln't hold the weight of my 8" monitor and 2 transmitters. It kept falling backwards.

    I finally got my seacraft monitor bracket. Man what a difference!!!!! I wish I got it several months ago it would have saved a ton of frustration.

    I guess the Seacraft does work with the MX 20! Good to know.
    Did you get the 'Under 180mm' size Dave?

    Wow ... Dave, I can see why you changed to the Seacraft! That's quite a lot if kit you've got wired up there ...
    The gazillions of wires were driving me mad on our setup, so I ended up removing the back off the LCD and wiring everything up inside the casing, drawing power from within for the transmitter etc instead of having splitters and joiners on the outside.

    You can get Secraft here in the US from www.espritmodel.com. They are out of stock currently on the monitor bracket but usually have them available. 2-3 days shipping. Cheaper too, at least on the shipping.
