INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
It is extremely important that your radio
system be correctly installed in your
model. Here are a few suggestions for
installing your JR
®
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 grommets and brass eyelets to
isolate them from vibration. 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 eyelets 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 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 in the propeller or
control surfaces.
