tBeacon Complete and Installed

I now have finished final "assembly" and installation of the tBeacon. You can't see it, but in order to route the tBeacon's antenna as vertically as possible (for maximum signal), I put inside a straw and routed it down the start of the wire channels in the tail boom. The antenna is probably about 30 degrees off from vertical now.

I soldered the wire harness that I planned out by the previous post.

I had to solder the tBeacon's included 50mAh lipo battery to the circuit board terminals. I then put shrink wrap over the assembly.
