Smoke System
If you want to use a smoke system, the smoke tank can be
fitted as shown below. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for fitting the smoke system.
RC-installation
Everyone has their own favourite methods when fitting the
R/C and gear, but the installation shown here can be used
as a guide, and similar set-ups have worked perfectly and
very reliably in all of our planes flown by C-ARF factory staff,
and many of our customers.
CARF highly recommend that you install a dual receiver
battery system, with a high-quality servo powerbus unit and
dual switches as shown, for the ultimate in safety and
security. The full ‘PowerBox’ range is all available from
CARF as an option. Visit our website for more details.
We recommend 2 Rx batteries of 2-cells LiPo of between
2800 - 4000mA each. If you have built the Extra using the
DA200 and the internal canister set-up shown should find
that with all 3 batteries positioned as shown (at the end of
the canopy) the C of G will be spot-on, with no lead needed.
At our Extra with DA170 on tunes pipes we installed the two
receiver batteries just in front of the canopy and the ignition
batterie at the motor dome. We used three 2800mAh
PowerBox LiPos, two for the receivers in combination with a
PowerBox Competition and one for the motor ignition using
the PowerBox SparkSwitch.
You should always try to place all your RC-components such
as receiver, batteries and the powerbus unit close to each
other in order to hold the length of the cables to a minimum.
For the two different setups (DA200 on canisters or DA170
on tuned pipes) shown in these instructions you can install
The rubber grommets to protect
the tubes
RC-installation for DA200. If
you intend to fly more pattern,
you can install the ignition
battery a bit closer to the front.
