Radio equipment
Failure to use the recommended servos, output arms, extensions, and hardware
may result in a loss of control!
Throughout this manual we make use of various types of servos and radio equipment!
The prototype was flown using MKS servos with powerbox bus system!
If you make use of another manufacturer, please use equipment with similar specifica-
tions! For JR we recommend DS8911HV servos.
The F4 will require extension leads! Please use high quality extension leads. Make use
of ceramic non ferrite cores if leads exceeds 1 meter. We recommend using X
-
bus sys-
tem. This will eliminate long power leads.
Use dual battery management systems and dual RX equipment. With the introduction
of 2.4 GHz even quad RX systems are considered as normal for a jet model.
Always center and install the correct output arms while on the bench, once the servo is
in the aircraft access to the servo arm screw is sometimes limited.
Do not save any money when buying radio equipment. The price of servo’s are far
from the price of replacing the entire model.
REMEMBER: The best equipment is only as good as the weakest link. Ask your-
self if this servo or link or lead etc is worthy of my trust to protect my very large
investment…
