all the components as shown at the photos. If you do it like
that, you won’t need any lead to obtain the correct CG.
It’s recommended to install all of the wiring to the inner skin
of the fuselage. And: Keep in mind that 2.4GHz and Carbon
is always critical…
RC-installation for DA170 on KS tuned pipes
Servo extension leads etc.
Please make sure that you use good quality 3-core twisted-
cable extension leads, of heavy gauge wire with gold-contact
connectors, to all the servos. No ‘Y’ leads are needed, as the
powerbox provides 2 or more inputs for each channel.
At CARF we hard-wire all our servos with twisted cable leads
of the exact length required and Multiplex 6-pin connectors,
so you can use 1 pin for each wire. We glue the female
connectors into small plywood plates in the sides of the
fuselage for connecting the stabs and ailerons when
assembling the plane.
Making up the proper extension cables and connectors is
only a little work, if you are proficient with a small soldering-
iron, and makes assembly of the model at the airfield very
The easiest way to fit the
PowerBox and its battery
mounts is to screw each part to
three 3mm plywood plates of
25mm diameter. Glue them in
place at the fuselage using
some thin CA.
The PowerBox SparkSwitch for
ignition (the second one, next
to the powerbus unit, is needed
to fire the smokes at the wing
ends)
We use these 6-pin Multiplex
connectors for all the re-
movable connections between
wings and fuselage.
