5. Make straps from the included hook and loop material

for your receiver and receiver pack. Wrap the components in
1/4" [6mm] foam rubber and strap them to the aft radio tray.

6. If you have installed a glow engine, the receiver pack

can be mounted either on the auxiliary battery mount (shown
in step 3) or on the forward radio tray. The O.S. 1.60 FX
engine requires additional weight at the nose of the airplane,
so only the receiver is installed on the forward radio tray in
our set-up shown above.

7. With the radio component locations determined,

connect the servos to the receiver. If you do not plan to use
a programmable radio that is capable of mixing, a Y-harness
will be required for the aileron and rudder servos. The
elevator servos will require a reversing Y-harness (a reversing
Y-harness will reverse the direction of one of the servos). Cut
small pieces from a rubber band to make straps that will hold
the servo leads away from the pull-pull cables.

o

8. Feed the receiver antenna around the rudder servos (if

applicable) and into the receiver antenna tube. Use a piece
of tape around the tube and antenna to prevent it from falling
out. Silicone sealant can also be used.
