Receiver-Servo Connection List
You may run the antenna inside of a non-metallic housing within the fuselage (a plastic outer pushrod
housing works well for this), but range may suffer if the antenna is located near metal pushrods or
cables. Be sure to perform a range check before flying. With the 2.4GHz radio system,
the range check method is different from the conventional frequency radio system.
During the range check period, you should be able to walk away at least 75 feet from the model
without losing control or seeing "jitter" in the servos. The range check should be done with the motor
running and the model should be securely restrained in case of loss of control.
Connectors
Be sure the alignment of a servo or battery connector is correct before inserting it into the receiver. To
remove a connector from the receiver, try to pull on the connector's plastic housing rather than pulling
on the wires. Pulling the wires can ruin the connector pins and break wires.
Using Servo Wire Extensions
If any of your servos are located too far away to plug directly into the receiver (like the aileron servo),
or you need to unplug the servo each time you disassemble the model, use a servo extension cord to
extend the length of the servo lead.
Additional Hitec extension cords of varying lengths are available from your hobby dealer.
