IR sensors affecting pitch trim.
I was viewing RCgroups UAV pages and came across this statement:
"Beamer, I suggest putting the IR on the bottom or else your pitch trim will change as the sun heats your wing."
I've experienced pitch trim changes that I couldn't account for and this may be the cause.
Has anyone ever heard of this or had experience with putting the XY IR sensors on the bottom of their plane?

Hmm. That's a new one for me. FMA recommends they go on the top.
