Installing The Receiver And Battery; Installing The Switch - Phoenix Model AT6-TEXAN Instruction Manual

FINAL ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE SPINNER
Install the spinner back-plate, propeller and
spinner cone. The spinner cone is held in place
using two 3mm x 8mm wood screws.
!
The propeller should not touch any part of the
spinner cone. If it dose, use a sharp modeling
knife and carefully trim away the spinner cone
where the propeller comes in contact with it.
INSTALLING THE PLASTIC PART
Glue the palstic part.

INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY

1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into
the receiver. You may want to plug an aileron
extension into the receiver to make plugging in
the aileron servo lead easier when you are
installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead
into the switch.
2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the
protective foam to protect them from vibration.
Use a rubber band or masking tape to hold the
foam in place.
3. Position the battery pack and receiver behind
the fuel tank. Use the two light plywood pieces,
placed over the battery and receiver and glue
to the fuselage sides to hold the battery and
receiver securely in place. Use 15mm triangle
pieces glued between the fuselage sides and
the plywood pieces to reinforce the joints.
!
Do not permanently secure the receiver and
battery until after balancing the model.
4. Using a 2mm drill bit, drill a hole through the
48
side of the fuselage, near the receiver, for the
antenna to exit.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH

1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage
side, opposite the muffler, close enough to the
receiver so the lead will reach. Use the face
plate of the switch cut out and locate the
mounting holes.
2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife.
Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two
49
mounting holes through the fuselage side.
3. Secure the switch in place using the two
machine screws provided with the radio
system.
