Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Mounting horizontal IR below the fuse?

[David Carlson]

Also have had success with this configuration.  The only problem I see 
is for belly-landers, which should be obvious.

To secure them, I generally take a piece of shrink-wrap just big enough 
to wrap around the  two sides without the picoblade connector, making 
sure to not obstruct the thermopile's window.  Then I use hot glue 
between the shrink-wrap and the (foam) airframe.  Works really well.
