Note
: The following section covers the
installation of a 7-or 8-channel receiver. This
will allow you to optimize and fine-tune the
feel of the Habu 32 by using separate aileron
channels and also a separate channel for the
nose gear steering. This will allow for a more
custom feel to each pilot. It will also allow you
to set the nose gear up for separate trimming
and a high and low rate switch.
1. Prepare the flap harness by securing a 12-inch
(304mm) extension to a 6-inch (152mm) Y-harness
using string or a commercially available connector.
The 12-inch (304mm) extension will plug into the
aileron channel of the receiver. Secure a 3-inch
(76mm) extension to one side of the Y-harness
using string or a commercially available connector.
Make sure to mark the flap harness so it can be
easily identified from outside the fuselage when
installing the wing panels.
2. Insert the flap harnesses and one of the 18-inch
(457mm) extensions through the hole in front of the
elevator servo and into the fuselage on the right
side as shown. Run the other 18-inch (457mm)
servo extension inside the hole on the left side
of the fuselage. The leads will exit toward the
top of the fuselage above the intake. Secure the
leads using tape or tie-wraps to keep them from
interfering with the operation of the elevator servos.
The 18-inch (457mm) servo extensions reach
the wing roots for the ailerons and keep the
excess wire to a minimum. If you will be taking
the Habu 32 apart often, connect a 3-inch
(76mm) servo extension to each of the 18-inch
(457mm) servo extensions to ease assembly.
3. (Optional Retracts) Prepare the retract harness
by securing a 6-inch (152mm) and 9-inch
(228mm) extension to the retract harness using
string or a commercially available connector. This
will plug into the retract channel of the receiver.
4. Plug the leads for the rudder, elevator, ailerons,
flaps, nose wheel servo and speed control into the
receiver at this time. All the extensions should now
be connected to the receiver.
