Radio Installation - Aviation Design Rafale C Assembly Manual

Radio installation :

The Rafale needs a minimum of 7 good servos :
For the elevons, we strongly recommend to fit 4 servos (30 kg.cm torque, ex Futaba BLS 152) : 2 servos
per wing
Canards : 2 servos 9 kg torque (ex : Futaba S9402)
NG steering : 1 strong metal gear servo 15 kg torque
Retract + gear doors + brakes : 3 electrovalves
Adjust batteries position to have the correct CG position.
Don't put the receiver and aerial antenae too close the the ECU
Retract valve and brake valve can be fitted between the air intakes
We also recommend the use of a Power box system or similar system required for the big number of high
torque servos
You also need 2 electronic mixers on your radio.
You must mix the 2 elevons like a delta and you must mix the canard with the elevator.
When you pull the stick back, the leading edge of the canard should go up the same as the trailing edge of
the elevons.
