PRECAUTIONS
• Connect the receiver, servos, switches, and battery firmly as shown in
Pig.11. Then extend the transmitter and receiver antennas fully.
• Set the transmitter power switch to ON. Then set the receiver power
switch to ON. The servos stop near the neutral position. Operate the
transmitter sticks and check that each servo follows the movement of
the stick.
• Connect the pushrod to each servo horn, then check if the direction
of travel of each servo matches the direction of operation of its trans-
mitter stick. To reverse the direction of servo travel, switch the servo
reversing switch.
• Operate each servo over its full stroke, and check if the pushrod binds
or is too loose. Applying unreasonable force to the servo horn will
adversely affect the servo and quickly drain the battery. Always make
the travel of each control mechanism somewhat larger than the full
travel (including trim) of the servo horn. Adjust the servo horns so
that they move smoothly even when the trim lever and stick are
operated simultaneously in the same direction.
• Be alert for noise.
This set is noise-resistant, but is not completely immune to noise. We
recommend the use of noiseless parts.
• When installing the switch harness, cut a rectangular hole somewhat
larger than the full stroke of the switch and install the switch so that
it moves smoothly from ON to OFF. This also applies to the switch
mount when the switch is installed inside the fuselage and is turned
on and off from the outside with a piece of wire, etc. Install the
switch where it will not be exposed to engine oil, dust, etc.
• Even though the receiver antenna is long, do not cut or bundle it.
• Install the servos securely. Tighten the mounting screws until the
rubber grommet is crushed slightly. If the screws are too tight, the
cushioning effect will be adversely affected.
• The crystal can be changed from the outside of the receiver case.
Always use the Futaba transmitter/receiver matched crystal set to
change the band.
• Spare servo horns are supplied. Use them as needed.
• Wrap the receiver in sponge rubber. Waterproof and dustproof the
receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and wrapping a rubber band
around the open end of the bag. Do the same with the receiver/servo
battery.
• Use the rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to hold the servo
and switch leads.
• After mounting is complete, recheck each part, then check the range
by making the transmitter antenna as short as possible, extending the
receiver antenna fully, and operating the set from a distance of 20m
to 30m. The movement of each servo should follow the movement of
each stick of the transmitter.
• After mounting and checking are complete, take your model to the
shop where you purchased the set, or to an experienced radio control
modeler, and ask them to teach you how to handle your radio control
set in the proper manner and to inspect your set-up carefully.
• To enjoy radio control models fully, be sure to observe all safety
standards.
