Section 14-Radio Equipment - QuiQue's Aircraft YAK-54 Assembly Manual

You are now in the final stages in
completing the assembly of your
Yak-54. This is how Quique has
been mounting his receiver with
great success.
1. Apply some beads of medium
C/A.
2. Attach a piece of foam the size of
the bottom of the receiver to the
base.
3. Cover the bottom of the receiver
completely with wide masking
tape.
4. Apply more beads of medium C/A
glue to the masking tape and
place the receiver on the top of
the foam.
The receiver floats gently but is not
fixed too firmly. If a receiver is
fastened too tight in the airplane
there could be problems with engine
vibration transmitted to the receiver.
With 1.5" stand offs, DA100 and
regular mufflers, Duralite batteries
for ignition and receiver, my plane
balanced at 8 ½" from trailing edge
by mounting the RX battery (Duralite
4000 Li-Ion) in front of the tank.
Here's the instruction on how to
mount your RX battery.
1. Make a plate size of your
battery and epoxy it to the
formers in front of the tank. To
make sure that plate won't
come loose, use 3 servo
screws on each side and bolt
it down to the former.

2. Wrap couple of rounds of
masking tape to the one side
of the battery not the side that
has the safety circuit if using
Duralite.
