RADIO INSTALLATION
Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery
Make certain the
alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly and “keys” into the
corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in. When unplugging connectors, never pull
on the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead.
If any servo wires are not long enough to reach the receiver, servo extension wires (available separately) may be
used.
Always mount the servos with the supplied
rubber grommets. Do not over
tighten the screws. No part of the servo casing should contact the mounting
rails, servo tray or any other part of the airplane/helicopter structure. Otherwise,
vibration will be transmitted to the servo causing premature wear and/or servo
failure.
Note the small numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) molded into each arm on the 4-arm servo arms. The
numbers indicate how many degrees each arm is “off” from 90 degrees to correct for minute
manufacturing deviations from servo to servo.
To center the servos, connect them to the receiver and turn on the transmitter
and receiver. Center the trims on the transmitter, then find the arm that will be
perpendicular to the pushrod when placed on the servo.
After the servos are installed, operate each servo over its full travel and check that the pushrods and servo arms do not
bind or contact each other. Also make sure the controls do not require excess force to operate. If there is an
objectionable buzzing sound coming from a servo, there is probably too much resistance in the control. Find and correct
the problem. Even if there is no servo damage, excess battery drain will result.
To prevent the servo lead wires from being broken by vibration during
flight, provide a margin so that the wire sticks out slightly and fasten it at
suitablepoints. In addition, periodically check the wire during daily
maintenance
Fasten about
5-10cm from the
servo outlet so that
the lead wire is neat.
