Hey. I am looking to put my tx on a short hose to hang beside the tank.
Do I just need a 6" hp hose?
The hp port on my first stage angles it towards my wing, and hits when fully inflated, I had to turn my tank to clear it, but that put the other hp port withy Spg hose right at my head.

Maybe a 90 fitting?
 
I had the same question. Did a quick search but didn't really find any options for a HP right angle adapter.

You'll need a spool/spindle, and an omniswivel adapter. But beware, mounting the T1 on a hose may compromise long-range performance. Specs are all based on screwing the T1 directly into the first stage. If the T1 is on a hose in may be shadowed by your body or other nearby objects. Not a big deal if you are using it in solo mode, but if you expect your buddy to pick up your signal far away, 1st stage is a better option.
