RADIO INSTALLATION

Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery. 

•  Make certain the 

alignment tab

 on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly and “keys” into the 

corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in. When unplugging connectors, never pull on the 
wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead. 

•  If any servo wires are not long enough to reach the receiver, servo extension wires (available separately) may be used.

•  Always mount the servos with the supplied 

rubber grommets

. Do not over 

tighten the screws. No part of the servo casing should contact the mounting 
rails, servo tray or any other part of the airplane/helicopter structure. Otherwise, 
vibration will be transmitted to the servo causing premature wear and/or servo 
failure. 

•  Note the small numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) molded into each arm on the Futaba 4-arm servo arms. The numbers 

indicate how many degrees each arm is “off” from 90 degrees to correct for minute manufacturing 
deviations from servo to servo. 

•  To center the servos, connect them to the receiver and turn on the transmitter 

and receiver. Center the trims on the transmitter, then find the arm that will be 
perpendicular to the pushrod when placed on the servo. 

•  After the servos are installed, operate each servo over its full travel and check that the pushrods and servo arms do not 

bind or contact each other. Also make sure the controls do not require excess force to operate. If there is an objectionable 
buzzing sound coming from a servo, there is probably too much resistance in the control. Find and correct the problem. 
Even if there is no servo damage, excess battery drain will result. 

•  Use the 

mounting plate

 from the receiver on/off switch as a template for the cutout and screw holes. Mount the switch on 

the side of the fuselage opposite the engine exhaust, and where it won’t be inadvertently turned on or off during handling or 
storage. Be certain the switch moves without restriction and “snaps” from ON to OFF, and that the cutout allows 

full motion

of the switch in 

both

 directions. 

•  When you install the switch harness to the helicopter, please use the switch cover. Generally sandwich the frame by switch 

and switch cover and securely tighten the screws. Different models might require different installations. In that case, please 
follow the model instruction manual.

Fasten about 5-10cm 
from the servo outlet 
so that the lead wire 
is neat.

Margin in the lead wire.

•  To prevent the servo lead wires from being broken by vibration during flight, 

provide a margin so that the wire sticks out slightly and fasten it at suitable 
points. In addition, periodically check the wire during daily maintenance.
