The
power
and
radio
components
you
select
to
install
in
your
Front
Yard
Fighters
kit
will
likely
be
similar
to
the
below
photo.
Don’t
forget
that
you
can
buy
the
that
includes
all
of
the
necessary
electronics
to
get
your
kit
in
the
air
without
having
to
piece
them
together
yourself.

1)
Since
we
mount
the
rudder
and
elevator
servos
in
the
tail,
servo
extensions
will
be
needed
to
connect
to
the
receiver
which
is
to
be
located
near
the
front
of
the
plane.
If
you
install
a
four
‐
channel
receiver,
you'll
need
a
Y
‐
cable
to
drive
the
ailerons
from
one
receiver
channel.
If
you
install
a
six
‐
channel
receiver,
a
Y
‐
cable
is
not
needed,
as
the
aileron
servos
can
plug
directly
in
to
AIL
and
AUX
channels
on
the
receiver,
and
are
mixed
in
the
transmitter.
2)
If
your
rudder
and
elevator
servos
fit
in
the
pre
‐
cut
slots,
great!
If
they
are
larger,
carefully
trim
away
a
little
foam
with
a
sharp
hobby
knife.
We
want
a
snug
fit
of
the
rear
servos
in
their
foam
slots,
to
minimize
the
amount
of
glue
needed
to
secure
them
in
place.
Pull
the
servo
cable
with
the
extension
cable
toward
the
front
of
the
aircraft
and
bring
them
out
through
the
holes
provided
near
the
receiver
location.
Apply
a
bit
of
glue
to
the
flat
side
of
the
servo
that
rests
against
the
vertical
component
of
the
fuselage,
to
fix
it
in
place.
You
can
attach
the
elevator
control
rod
now,
but
do
not
connect
the
rudder
control
rod
as
you
will
do
this
in
a
future
step.
