5. Apply a piece of hook and loop tape to the
bottom of the receiver.
6. Plug the leads from the speed control, rudder
and elevator servos into the correct ports of the
receiver. Use the hook and loop tape to mount the
receiver in the fuselage as shown. Route the leads
through the hole in the battery tray to reduce clutter
inside the fuselage. The remote receiver is mounted
toward the rear of the fuselage as shown using
hook and loop tape.
7. Use the hook and loop straps to secure the motor
battery in the fuselage. Check that the power switch
is set to the OFF position and connect the leads
from the motor battery and speed control.
8. Center the rudder and elevator trims on the
transmitter. Set the throttle stick to the low throttle
position. Turn on the transmitter, then the receiver.
Place the servo horns on the rudder and elevator
servos as shown. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the
servo arms as shown in the photo. These will be the
arms the pushrods will be connected to.
9. Remove the horn from the elevator servo. Use
side cutters to remove any unused arms so they
won’t interfere with the operation of the servo. Use
a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge
the hole in the horn that is 7/16-inch (11mm) from
the center of the servo horn.
10. Remove the horn from the rudder servo. From
a offset servo horn (not included), use side cutters
to remove any unused arms so they won’t interfere
with the operation of the servo. Use a pin vise and
5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to enlarge the hole in the
horn that is 9/16-inch (15mm) from the center of
the servo horn. You will also need to enlarge the
hole that is 3/8-inch (9mm) from the center of the
horn using a pin vise and 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit.
