(3 to 4) Satellite receivers
Receiver switch
Required Tools and Adhesives
Double-sided tape
Masking tape
Hook and loop
Threadlock
Medium CA
Note: It is best to use 4 satellite receivers as this is
a large model, however, with proper placement of
the satellite receivers, 3 would be adequate. A Flight
Log can help with correct placement of the satellite
receivers. Check the health of the system before first
flight.
1. Remove the covering from the right side of the
fuselage and mount the receiver switch. Apply a small
amount of threadlock to the screws.
2. There are two ways to mount the satellite receivers.
One way is to simply apply a piece of double-sided/servo
tape to the back of the satellite receiver and attach to the
fuselage. See step 3 for the alternative method.
3. Attach a piece of masking tape to the back of the
satellite receiver; apply a couple of drops of CA to the
masking tape and stick a piece of hook and loop to the
masking tape. Note that even if the hook and loop is
adhesive-backed, CA helps hold the hook and loop to the
masking tape in high temperatures.
4. Using the same method glue the opposite side of
the hook and loop to those parts of the fuselage where
the satellite receivers will attach. Note the recommended
locations in the following pictures.
