(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 Vibration proofing / Waterproofing)
Vibration proof the receiver and battery by wrapping them in sponge rubber or
some such material. If the receiver may get wet, waterproof them separately by
placing them in plastic bags or balloons.
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 over its full stroke and adjust the linkages 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.
Always install the switch so 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. using a rubber
grommet. 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 screw supplied with the servo.
If a long screw is used, the interior of the servo may be damaged.
