RADIO INSTALLATION
Prepare for installation
1. The pushrods should be in place in the fuselage
and connected to the control horns. The wires at
the front end of the pushrods should have some
excess length, reaching close to former #2.
2. Read and follow the instructions that come with your
radio.
3. If your batteries are dry cells, they should be fresh;
if they are rechargeable nicads, they should be
fully charged.
Radio Pre-Check
Assemble and try the radio before installation.
1.
Move the control stick from side to side. Apply
tape (on which you can write) to the particular plug
from the receiver which goes to the servo that
moves. Mark that plug “RUD”.
If your receiver doesn’t have separate plugs coming from
it, but does have places for the servos to plug in, apply a piece of
tape nearby that you can mark “R” opposite the
appropriate plug-in location.
2. Move the control stick up and down (away from
you, and towards you). Mark the appropriate plug
or plug -in location “ELEV” or “E”.
NOTE: The servo functions are determined by where they
are plugged into the receiver. Be sure to assemble them the
same way each time so that the servos give you the proper
responses.
Radio Protection
Locate and protect airborne part of radio. Begin by
installing the servo rails.
1.
With pushrods installed, tape the front wires up out
of the way beneath the 1/8” sq. wing rest strips.
2. Insert the soft rubber grommets into the mounting
holes of your servos.
Measure from the bottom of your servo to the
underside of a grommet. Add 3/16” to this
measurement. The total is the height of the tip of
the servo rail above the fuselage floor.
Mark the inside of the fuselage for the height of
rails.
3. Notch one rail as necessary to clear the cables
where they exit from the servo. This will be the
forward rail.
Glue the forward rail in place with CA or
epoxy.
4.
Place one servo on the rail. Allow 1/16”
clearance from the back of the servo.
Glue the rear rail in place.
