11.2 Installing the receiver
Theinstallationofthereceiverdiffersaccordingtothemodel.Forthisreason,observetherecommendationsmadeby
the model manufacturer with regard to installation.
Generallyspeaking,youshouldalwaystrytoinstallthereceiverinsuchawaythatitisoptimallyprotectedfromdust,
dirt,dampandvibrations.Double-sidedadhesivefoamorrubberringsaresuitableforsecuringthefoamwrapped
receiverrmlyinplace.
Thelast3centimetresoftheaerialwirearedeemedtheaerial.Theremainingpartonlyservestoextendtheaerial,
to place or position it in a model.
Installtheaerial(i.e.thelast3centimetres)withsuitableaids(e.g.theaerialtubefromthedelivery)sothatitpoints
from the RC box or model as vertically as possible.
Generally,thefollowingruleapplies:Thehighertheaerialprotrudesfromamodel,thesaferthereception.
Theantennawireofthereceiverhasapreciselycalculatedlength.Forthisreason,theantennawiremay
notbecoiled,loopedorcut.Thereceiverrangewouldbestronglylimitedandthuswouldbeaconsiderable
safety risk.
11.3 Installing the servo
The installation of a servo is always dependant on the model being used. Precise information can be obtained from
the construction documents of the model.
Intheeventofstiffruddersandsteering,servosareunabletooperateintherequiredposition.Theyconsumeunne-
cessary power as a result and the model cannot be controlled cleanly.
Alwaysmounttheservoleverata90°angeltothesteeringrods.Withaservoleverdiagonaltothesteeringrods,the
steering or rudder movement in both steering directions are not of the same magnitude.
Pay attention before installing the servo lever for the drive and steering function to ensure that the trim func-
tionoftherelevantchannelissettothemiddleposition.Formoreinformation,consultthesection“Checking
and setting the digital trimming”.
TheservoleversattheservosthatareconnectedtoCH3andCH4mustbeinstalledsothattheycannotrun
on block when switching from one end position to the other.
