QUATTRO LITE MANUAL
INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
Flight pack installation varies greatly from one
model to another. For your convenience, we have
included the photograph below outlining a typical
flight pack installation in a standard 3-channel
slow flyer and park flyer type model airplane.
Please read and follow these suggestions.
1. For added protection, wrap the receiver in foam
rubber that is at least 1/4" thick.
2. Run the receiver antenna through the fuselage
and make sure it is fully extended. Never cut or
bundle your receiver antenna — this will
decrease range and performance.
3. Rubber servo grommets are included with your
radio system and should be installed in the
servo flanges. The servos should then be
mounted on either hardwood rails or a plywood
tray with the mounting screws provided. Do not
overtighten the mounting screws. The flange of
the brass eyelets should face down (toward the
wood). See Section 8.3.
4. With the servo at neutral, install the required
servo arm/horn exactly 90° to the servo
case as shown in the diagram below.
5. Before installing the servo output arms, make
sure the servo is in its neutral position.
6. All servos must be able to move freely over the
full range of their travel. Make sure the linkages
do not impede servo travel. A stalled servo will
drain the battery pack within a few minutes.
7. In the case of gas-powered model aircraft,
mount the receiver power switch on the side
of the fuselage opposite the muffler to protect
the switch from exhaust residue. With other
types of models, mount the switch in the most
convenient place. Make sure the switch operates
freely and is capable of traveling its full distance.
