In the next section we will be mounting the receiver. First, refer to the COG (balance point)
diagram at the bottom of this document and test the position of your gear to make sure it will
balance at the correct point.
Mount ther receiver as far forward as possible using the strip of velcro or even better by gluing it
in place. The image below shows the correct position. This is a slow and delicate job so take your
time. A pair of tweesers will make the job much easier.
Attach only this control linkage to the
ends of the two control rods. Use a dab of
glue to tack them in place and cut a short
length of heat shrink from the tube to
cover them with. Heat the heat shrink
with a soldering iron or something else
hot.
Then insert these and connect them to
the receiver as shown above.
Leave the control surface parts as they
are for now. The next thing you need to
do is set up your transmitter. Turn it on
and connect the battery to the receiver
and check it is all working correctly. Look
at which way the pushrods are moving
and reverse the servo direction on the
transmitter settings if needed.
