I purchase the tray from hourus and after assembly realized the arms no longer fold flat. I emailed their support and below is there reply. I wish I read thread before.
Dear Philip,
Thank you for your e-mail,
I checked with the R&D department, the arms is only designed to fold for transportation. And we don't suggest you to fold it after you put the radio on,
However, thanks for pointing it out and FrSky will consider to do some optimization of this product in the future.
Thanks

I consider their products to be well made, they dropped the ball on this one. I hope they make modified arms for the future. Beware if you used their tray.

Here is a case solution for anyone who bought the Frsky X20 Tray with the arms that don’t fold flat after assembly.
I used a Harbor Freight water proof case.You need to put a stop under the left arm to keep it off the transmitter selector button. I use what I had on hand a servo disk and glued it on the rails. There is enough room for the case to close. Plenty of room for strap, charger battery checker etc. It is not a fantastic solution but it does make it usable. I also mounted the hand supports backwards, just my personal preference. I did not want to assemble and disassemble the tray every time I used it. Hope this is a help.

Bad design, I'm afraid. It would have been pretty easy to ge that right.
I think this sometimes happens when engineers, not flyers - design stuff.

not only longer but larger hole. I had to grind it out somewhat. And any aftermarket element is made for thin sticks...Unrelated, but it seems you should get yourself some longer stick protectors printed
