RECEIVER, BATTERY & SWITCH
Install your radio switch.
Install your receiver and battery pack accord-
ing to your radio instructions.
The Sukhoi has lots of room to move the bat-
tery around to help with the CG. Do not make
a final place till you have balanced the plane.
We placed our receiver behind the rudder
servo and our battery in front of the throttle
servo. The location of these items will vary with
each planes set up.
