Step 6.
Attach the appropriate servo leads to the receiver. Use
Velcro
®
to mount the receiver and receiver battery to the bottom
of the fuselage compartment.
Step 7.
The receiver antenna will be run from the opening in
the fuselage area out to the fuselage tail.
Step 8.
Before mounting the motor battery pack into the fuse-
lage tray, apply a strip of Velcro
®
to both the tray and the battery.
This will help to keep the battery in place. Balance of the
Odessey EP can be adjusted to some degree by moving the
motor battery pack back and forth on the fuselage tray. Always
try this first before adding any weight to the aircraft. Refer to
Section 9, "Balancing the Odessey EP," for more information.
Step 9.
A micro On/Off switch and a single-pole/double-throw
switch are installed in the sides of the fuselage near the motor
and the radio compartment. The micro switch is to power the
receiver and the single pole/double throw switch is an "arming
switch." The arming switch prevents unwanted power from being
applied to the motor and prevents accidental startup. Remember
the propeller has sharp edges and can cause injury if you stick
your hand or fingers into it when it is operating.
Note:
If you plan on using an electronic speed control, the
receiver battery will not be required, the motor battery will
provide power for the receiver, as well as the motor. Refer to the
manufacturer's operating instructions for proper hook up of an
electronic speed control.
