RC-Equipment
All equipment can be installed on the removable part of the equipment board. Rubber grommets
should be used to protect wires from rubbing against the carbon fibre edges. All wires can be
routed hidden below the board, creating an unbelievably clean way to install all electronic
equipment. Make sure that any gyro (Cortex Pro, iGyro or a Mercury with iGyro) get installed in the
center of the board. Engine ECU on the right, any receiver, Jeti Central Box on the left, Electron
GS-200 controller forward. Satellite receivers can be fixed on the board but antennas should be
routed away from the carbon. A good place is to mount one the intake ducts and another one, in
case you have a long patch cable availalbe, at the nose board, right in front of the nose wheel,
even forward of the batteries. The receiver and turbine batteries should be fixed with Velcro straps
along the sides of the nose wheel cutout. The battery wires should be fed through the front face of
Please note: There is a lot of carbon fiber used in this airframe.
Keep all antennas in the nose cone / canopy area for good reception!
the main fuselage below the nose gear tray
and then fixed with 1-2 small velcro loops (not
cable ties) to the board, which allows you to
quickly unhook the wires and take the nose
gear board off. Of course you have to be
careful that the nose gear cannot get tangled
in the battery wires.
We recommend to use the Powerbox heavy
duty servo wire and create a harness by
CRIMPING and not soldering. Do NOT use
standard servo extensions as they will never
have the best suited length and quickly create
a big wiring mess. You have already decided
for the type and location of the connectors to
wings, stab and fin, so you can route these
wires and finalize the connector installation
before mounting the integrated engine unit
and the fuel tanks.
