Radio installation in one of the prototype Kougars A UM-3 plastic mount on the 3/8" sq. crosspieces holds three EK-MM
servos. The receiver is wrapped in a foam rubber package and stowed just ahead of the servos.
Some RC outfits have one or more reverse direction servos which are handy when it is found more convenient in a
particular installation to have a pushrod hook to the servo on the opposite side.
In this installation, using Logictrol SM servos, the battery and receiver have been semi-permanently installed. WIth scrap
balsa crosspieces holding the foam rubber wrapped packages in place. The motor and nose wheel pushrods are tacked to
the crosspiece over the receiver with 5-minute epoxy. If necessary to remove the equipment, break out the battery
retaining cross-piece and pull out the battery and the receiver, leaving the receiver retaining strip in place. (Some Kougars
may need the battery in the nose under the tank for proper balance.)
Control Movemants
Various brands of servos can give different control movement direction and amounts of travel. For this reason, follow the
measurements below when setting the Kougar up for flight rather than any particular horn hole drawn in this book or visible
in a Kougar picture. Shift the RC link to whatever horn hole will produce the amount of movement shown in the drawings
below. Measurements are made at the trailing edge of the control surface.
The control measurements shown should give full aerobatic capability. Test flights may indicate a need for more or less
movement, depending on individual model differences, C.G. location, your personal preferences, etc. (Flight Tests may
determine that the neutral point should vary slightly from level but for purposes of illustration the neutral point is shown
level.)
For training purposes, do not carry
excessive elevator movement. Use only
enough to properly perform a nice sized
loop at full travel. Over control with
excessive movement can get a novice in
trouble. After you are more expert,
additional movement can be used, if
desired, for quick snaps and other
violent maneuvers.
