Receiver Installation and Setup Note:
Vibration and Water
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature
extremes.
For protection, wrap the receiver in the provided "Flight Preserver" foam rubber, or use some other
vibration-absorbing materials.
If you are flying near bodies of water, it's also a good idea to protect the receiver by placing it in a
plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam. If
you accidentally get moisture inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation or a crash.
Switch Harness Installation
When you are ready to install the receiver's switch harness, remove the switch cover and use it as a
template to cut screw holes and a rectangular hole slightly larger than the full stroke of the switch.
Choose a switch location on the opposite side of the fuselage from the engine exhaust, and choose a
location where it can't be inadvertently turned on or off during handling or storage. Install the switch so
that it moves without restriction and "snaps" from ON to OFF and vice versa.

M-BODA (Mini Boosted Omni-Directional Antenna) Installation
You may run the antenna inside of a non-metallic housing within the fuselage (a plastic outer pushrod
housing works well for this), but range may suffer if the antenna is located near metal pushrods or
cables. Be sure to perform a range check before flying. With the 2.4GHz radio system,
the range check method is different from the conventional frequency radio system.
During the range check period, you should be able to walk away at least 75 feet from the model
without losing control or seeing "jitter" in the servos. The range check should be done with the motor
running and the model should be securely restrained in case of loss of control.
