Brass eyelet
Servo mount
(Airplane/Glider)
Servo lead wires
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.
Fasten about 5-10 cm
from the servo outlet so
that the lead wire is neat.
Mounting the power switch
When 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 ON/OFF without 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 muffler.

Safety precautions when you install receiver
and servos
Warning
Connecting connectors
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 to
avoid water.
Receiver's antenna
Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not
bind the receiver's antenna with servo
cables.
Place 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's 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 servo, the
servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train
and/or power consumption, causing rapid battery drain.
Mounting servos
Use vibration-proof rubber (such as a
rubber grommet) under a servo when
mounting the servo on a servo mount.
Be sure that the servo cases do not touch
directly to the metal parts, such as a servo
mount.
*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration
will travel to and possibly damage the servo.
