Both VN-300 receptors & their grounding planes should be placed 1M apart, facing directly upwards, above other elements. These can be mounted at the ends of the wings, or on vertical mounts above the wings (like an AWACS disk) if airflow over wings is a significant issue. The VN-300 is significantly smaller than what is pictured on the right, and two vertical spars on each wing could be sufficient. The vn-300 is not weather rated, and should be protected.

Both NEO M.8 GPS Modules should be placed facing upwards, away from one another. There is no significant distance requirement beyond an initial small separation. This can be done by placing both on opposite ends of the fuselage, one on the fuselage and one on the tail, or however the mechanical team sees fit.
