Default Thats how bored i am, take a look...

...i am so bored that i sit here for hours trying to figure out, which way to put my new radio. ha ha...
seriously, i gave it some thought and i am not sure what the best position for it is...
position 1: as you open the case, it sits upright. that way though, the top of the radio is facing down when storing and transporting...

position 2: as you open the case, it sits upside down. that way it sits right side up when transporting and storing...

position 3: as you open the case, it sits sideways...that way you are kinda in between...

what do you guys think?

thanks

I say upside down. But then, i'm in the southern hemisphere, so that would be your right side up.

If you want to have it sideways, I think you need to take into consideration the additional drag you may encounter, which will affect the way you can carry it.

By the way, can I smoke what you're smoking?

"THIS is how bored I am"

Sideways is the best, you also have a little bit room left over.

If you can sit there for hours... you're not bored, you've got Attention Deficit Disorder.

If it's any help, here are a couple of pics of my Spektrum DX7 and factory case. They lay the radio on its side.

You should also see if how it feels face down in those three positions. You must apply yourself more when bored
