Bob White known in in the industry as Bob Finless has created this video Electronics
In this video Bob shows a way to mount the electronics in a 450 class heli, it’s not the only way to mount the electronics but I can say that I mounted my devices in the same way before seeing this video simply because it balanced the heli better.
I recommend viewing this video, but also suggest to mount the gear where you find a good balance point and no obstruction to other equipment.
For example if you are mounting a Logger into the Heli then you need to re-think the locations used, what I do is set the heli up between two glasses resting the flybar on the top of the rim of the glasses and start adding and moving devices until my heli is balanced.
