Retractable landing gear switch/Channel 5 -
Switch operates the servo connected to channel 5 in the receiver if your
model has retractable landing gear this is the control used to extend and retract the gear.
Antenna -
Antenna -
Radiates signals to the receiver. Never fly a model without fully extending the antenna or you may create
interference to other modelers and decrease operational signal range of the transmitter. The antenna may be removed and
replaced with another in case it is inadvertently broken.
RADIO INSTALLATION
RADIO INSTALLATION
Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery.
• Make certain the
alignment tab
alignment tab
on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly and
“keys” into the
corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in. When unplugging connectors, never pull on the
wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead.
• If any servo wires are not long enough to reach the receiver, servo extension wires (available separately) may be used.
• Always mount the servos with the supplied
rubber grommets
rubber grommets
. Do not over tighten the
screws. No part of the servo casing should contact the mounting rails, servo tray or any
other part of the airplane structure. Otherwise, vibration will be transmitted to the servo
causing premature wear and/or servo failure.
• Note the small numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) molded into each arm on the Futaba 4-arm servo arms.
The numbers indicate how many degrees each arm is
“off” from 90 degrees to correct for
minute manufacturing deviations from servo to servo.
• To center the servos, connect them to the receiver and turn on
the transmitter and receiver. Center the trims on the
transmitter, then find the arm that will be perpendicular to the
pushrod when placed on the servo.
