b) Installation and Connection of the Throttle Servo
• Connect the throttle servo to channel 2 of the receiver and take the remote control into operation.
• Set the throttle lever and the associated trimming to the neutral position at the activated transmitter. Attach the „Z“ of
the thrust rod (figure 1, item 3) to the motor and the rudder horn (figure 1, item 2) of the throttle servo and place the
rudder horn on the servo so that the rudder horn does not actuate the deflection lever for the carburettor control in its
neutral position (see figure 1, item 3). Secure the rudder horn at the servo output with the central screw. Check the
function of the throttle servo. Observe that the servo does not run to block in its end positions.
• Now attach the throttle servo in the holder of the RC box with the included accessories as displayed in figure 1.
c) Installation and Connection of Receiver and Receiver Battery
• Attach the receiver to the side of the RC box with a strip of double-sided adhesive tape (e.g. servo tape) or a strip of
hook-and-loop tape (see figure 1, item 4).
• Install the on/off switch of the receiver system to the lid of the RC box. Figure 1, item 7 shows the approximate
installation site of the switch symbolically.
• Insert a sufficiently sized receiver battery into the RC-box. Figure 1, item 6 shows the receiver battery that should be
embedded into a piece of foam rubber for running operation. Slipping is prevented by this.
Loose cables should be bundled with a cable tie to prevent them from getting into the servo’s rudder linkage
in driving operation.
d) Mounting the Receiver Aerial
According to the remote control system used (27 or 40 MHz or 2.4 GHz), you need to install the receiver in the RC box
according to the information in the operating instructions. Figure 1, item 4 shows a possible installation site for a
2.4 GHz remote control. Observe the following notes for installation of the receiver aerial.
Modern remote control systems in 2.4 GHz technology only require short aerials at the transmitter and
receiver for secure operation. Only the few centimetres without insulation are the receiver aerial. The remaining
part of the aerial cable serves as supply/extension so that you can pull an aerial from a body.
For secure reception, it is perfectly sufficient if the last three centimetres of the receiver aerial in the body are
placed vertically in the RC-box, e.g. with a short piece of Bowden tube glued into the RC box (figure 1, item
5).
If you use a 27 or 40 MHz-remote control, we urgently recommend guiding the receiver aerial vertically up
from the boat body with a Bowden tube of a sufficient length.
Important!
The remote control range may be reduced drastically if the receiver aerial is not placed correctly (e.g. if the
aerial is only in the boat’s body). In this case, the model can no longer be controlled. Check that the receiver
aerial is placed correctly before every operation.
