Section 14: Installing the Radio
Step 5
Mount the radio switch into the side of the fuselage. Use
caution not to cut through the balsa stringers that run
the length of the fuselage. Glue small scraps of plywood
to the balsa sheeting to give the mounting screws
something to bite into.
Step 6
Connect the 12" servo extensions (ailerons and retract
servos), servo leads and switch harness to the proper
channels in your receiver.
Step 7
Wrap the receiver in protective foam to prevent damage
that may be caused from engine vibration. Secure the
receiver to the servo tray as shown.
Step 8
Wrap the receiver battery in protective foam as you did
with the receiver and temporarily mount it in the fuselage.
You may need to move the battery forward or aft to
balance the model in Section 19.
