To prevent the servo lead cable from being
broken by vibration during flight provide a
little slack in the cable and fasten it at suitable
points. Periodically check the cable during daily
maintenance.
Margin in the lead wire.
hen mounting a power switch to an
airframe make a rectangular hole that is a little
larger than the total stroke of the switch so
that you can turn the switch
binding.
Avoid mounting the switch where it can be
covered by engine oil and dust. In general it is
recommended to mount the power switch on the
side of the fuselage that is opposite the muf er.

Be sure to insert the connector until it
stops at the deepest point.
How to protect the receiver from vibration
and water
Wrap the receiver with something
soft such as foam rubber to avoid
vibration. If there is a chance of
getting wet, put the receiver in a
waterproof bag or balloon.
Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do
not bind the receiver's antenna with
the cables for servos.
Locate the receiver's antenna as far as
possible from metals or carbon fiber
components such as frames, cables,
etc.
*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will
reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range,
and may cause a crash.
Servo throw
Adjust your system so that pushrods
will not bind or sag when operating
the servos to the full extent.
*If excessive force is continuously applied to a ser-
vo, the servo could be damaged due to force on
the gear train and/or power consumption causing
rapid battery drain.
Mounting servos
Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as
rubber grommet) under a servo when
mounting the servo on a servo mount.
And be sure that the servo cases do
not touch directly to the metal parts
such as servo mount.
*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly,
vibration will travel to and possibly damage the
servo.
