Vibration and Water
Vibration and Water
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.
For protection, wrap the receiver in the provided "Flight Preserver" foam rubber, or use some other vibration-absorbing materials.
If you are flying near bodies of water, it's also a good idea to protect the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of
the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam. If you accidentally get moisture inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent
operation or a possible crash.
Switch Harness Installation
When you are ready to install the receiver's switch harness, remove the switch cover and use it as a template to cut screw holes and a
rectangular hole slightly larger than the full stroke of the switch.
Choose a switch location on the opposite side of the fuselage from the engine exhaust, and choose a location where it can't be inadvertently
turned on or off during handling or storage. Install the switch so that it moves without restriction and "snaps" from ON to OFF and vice versa.
NOTE
*Detailed range check mothod can be found on page 19. During the range check period, you should be able
to walk away at least 75 feet from the model without losing control or seeing "jitter" in the servos.
The range check should be done with the motor running and the model should be securely restrained in
case of loss of control.
Receiver Antenna Installation
Never cut the antenna, such behavior will seriously reduce
the reception range. Never pinch or bend the antenna, such behavior will cause
serious damage to the antenna.
Changing the length of the antenna reduces range.
