1. Wrap the receiver in protective foam rubber that is no less than 10mm
thick. Secure the foam to the receiver with rubber bands. This protects the
receiver in the event of a crash or a very hard landing.
2. The servos should be mounted using the rubber grommets and brass
bushings supplied to isolate them from vibration. Do not over-tighten the
mounting screws — this will negate the vibration absorption effect of the
rubber grommets. The brass bushings are pushed from the bottom up in the
rubber grommets. When the servo screw is tightened securely, it provides the
proper security, as well as the proper vibration 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 each switch operates freely and is able to operate
over its full travel.
5. Mount the receiver antenna firmly to the aeroplane to ensure that it will not
become entangled in the propeller or control surfaces.
Setting up your PCM9X
JR radio control systems include two main menus to program a model. The
System
menu is normally only accessed when first setting up a model and allows
you to set basic parameters such as model type, modulation, stick mode etc. The
Function
menu allows you to alter parameters dependant upon model type
(aeroplane, helicopter or glider) and allows quick access to set up, trimming and
mixing facilities such as travel adjust, servo reversing and dual rates - and much,
much more!
System Menu
To enter the
System
menu press and hold the
