Installation requirements
It is extremely important that your radio system be cor-
rectly installed in your model. Here a few suggestions
installing your GRAUPNER equipment:
1. Wrap the receiver in protective foam rubber that
is no less than 3/8 inch thick. Secure the foam to
the receiver with #64 rubber bands. This protects
the receiver in the event of a crash or a very hard
landing.
2. The servos should be mounted using rubber grom-
mets and brass eyelets to isolate them from vibrati-
on. Do not over-tighten the mounting screws; this will
negate the vibration absorption effect of the rubber
grommets. The following diagram will assist you in
properly mounting your servo. The brass eyelet are
pushed from the bottom up in the rubber grommets.
When the servo screw is tightened securely, it provi-
des the proper security as well as the proper vibrati-
on isolation for your servo.
3. The servos must be able to move freely over their
entire range of travel. Make sure that the control
linkages do not bind or impede the movement of any
of the servos.
4. Mount all switches away from the engine exhaust
and away from any high vibration areas. Make sure
the switch operates freely and is able to operate over
its full travel.
5. Mount the receiver antenna firmly to the airplane
to ensure that it will not become entangled on the
propeller or control surfaces.
