FINAL RADIO SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Whether you use 72 MHz systems or the newer 2.4 GHz systems, correct radio installation
and care is vital to the safe and reliable operation of your aircraft.
Follow the
manufacturer’s instruction for installation guidance of receivers and batteries paying
attention to factors such as vibration isolation, adequate cooling, and clearances.
1. Mount your receiver(s) securely in a location which provides a clean and maintenance
free solution to your setup. All servo wires should be neatly routed and secured in
place so they will not come loose or flop around during flight.
2. The fuselage ply sides provide space to mount your switches just below the canopy.
Mount your switches according to the manufacturer’s instructions and route your
wires safely and securely as above.
3. Your receiver battery(s) can be mounted in a variety of locations depending on your
balance needs. Regardless of where you mount your batteries it is vital that they are
very secure with no possibility of coming loose. Use double sided Velcro to hold the
batteries from sliding around and then use zip ties or Velcro straps to secure them
tightly in place.
4. Servo and battery leads are the life blood of your aircraft. Make sure all wires are top
quality and connectors are tight and display no loose pins or frayed wires. Servo clips
are provided in the kit for your convenience. These servo clips can even be glued to
the wood structure using CA if desired.
