Section 14: Installing the Radio
Parts Needed
• Fuselage assembly
• Plywood servo tray
• Foam
• Servos (3) (not included)
• Receiver
• Receiver battery
• Servo Lead Extensions 12" (3) (JRPA098)
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Hobby knife
• Thin CA
• Drill
• Drill Bit: 1/16"
Step 1
Using thick CA, glue in the plywood servo tray,
oriented as shown. Note the former is notched to
accept the servo tray.
Step 2
Install the recommended servo hardware (grommets and
eyelets) supplied with your radio system onto three
servos (elevator, rudder, throttle). Temporarily install the
three servos into the openings and mark the location of
the servo mounting screws.
Step 3
Remove the servos and drill the holes for the servo
mounting screws using a 1/16" drill bit.
Hint
: Place a drop of thin CA onto each
screw hole to harden the wood around the
hole. Allow the CA to completely dry before
installing the servos.
Step 4
Install the servos as shown. The output shaft of the
throttle servo (center servo) is towards the front and the
elevator and rudder output shafts are to the rear. Secure
the servos using the screws provided with the servos.
