NSTALLATION AND
A
DJUSTMENT
(Connector Connection)
Insert the receiver, servo, and battery connectors fully and firmly.
If vibration, etc. causes a connector to work loose during flight, the plane may crash.
(Receiver Vibrationproofing / Waterproofing)
Vibrationproof the receiver by wrapping it in sponge rubber or some such material.
If the receiver may get wet, waterproof it by placing it in a plastic bag.
If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration and shock, or gets wet, it may operate
erroneously and cause a crash.
(Receiver Antenna)
Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna.
Also, do not bundle the antenna together
with the servo lead wires.
Cutting or bundling the receiver antenna will
lower the receiver sensitivity and shorten the
flight range and cause a crash.
Antenna installation: For aircraft, attach the
antenna to the top of the tail.
(Servo Throw)
Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and adjust so that the pushrod does not
bind or is not too loose.
Unreasonable force applied to the servo horn will adversely affect the servo and drain the
battery quickly.
Power Switch Installation
When installing a receiver power switch to the fuselage, cut a rectangular hole somewhat
larger than the full stroke of the switch knob and install the switch so it moves smoothly
from ON to OFF.
Also install the switch where it will not come into direct contact with engine oil, dust, etc.
Generally, install the switch to the fuselage at the side opposite the muffler exhaust.
(Servo Installation)
Install the servos to the servo mount, etc. through a rubber
bushing. Also install the servos so that the servo case does
not directly touch the servo mount or other parts of the
fuselage.
(Servo Horn Screw)
Use the horn set screw supplied with the servo.
If a long screw is used, the interior of the servo may be damaged.
