Keep all wires as short as possible. Avoid unnecessary extensions and connections, but use extensions if a
wire is almost to short to avoid mechanical tension in the wiring. Never tighten a wire to much. Be sure that
nothing pulls at a wire. It is very important to have zero tension between wires, plugs and RC-Components.
Wiring Tips
Tip:
Cut open a piece of fuel line to cover sharp edges.
You can also use fuel lines to cover zip ties to
prevent them from damaging the wires.
Never use RC-components with damaged wires.
Check all wires for damaged isolation and breakage.
Control all servo connectors for a tight fit and be sure
no wire is loose in the connector.
All wires must be protected against damage through
sharp edges of the carbon frame and metal parts. Zip
ties can also cause damage to the wires.
Carbon fibre and metal parts are conductive. Open
wires, contacts and open gaps between two contacts
touching the frame can cause a short curcuit and
damage to the RC-Equipment.
Tip:
The best way to protect your wires is to use braiding
sleeve such as those used for computer wiring or
casemodding. Seal the ends of the sleeve with heat
shrink to prevent them from unraveling. You can
also youse heat shrink to protect wires where zip
ties overlie.
Be careful when heating heatshrink on wires,
don´t heat it up to long or with to much heat
or it may damage the isolation.
Keep all wires away from rotating parts,
linkages and servo arms.
Tip:
Secure connectors with heat glue at the receiver and
FBL-Unit. Avoid contact of the glue with stickers and
the wires. The glue is easy to remove.
Do not fold any wire, place them in curves.
Tip:
Use a plier to bend zip ties before you use them. It will
be easier to get them around a corner.
Do not pull out connectors by pulling at the
wires!
Control all wires and connections regularly to discover hidden damages and defective
contacts early. Never go flying if any failure occurs!
