VI. Radio Control
For running your model on the water, you will
need a 2 channel radio control system with one
servo.
Stand Februar 2016
For the control of the motor you will need an
electronic speed control with forward and re-
verse control. This should have a constant
capacity of minimum 20 Ampere and should be
equipped with BEC.
The steering servo needs to be fitted to the
motor mount. Before assembly you should
clear whether this is standing in ist neutral
position, as a later screwing is difficult.
For steering the rudder first the rudder lever
(97) needs to be fixed to the rudder shaft and
combined with the steering rod, made of parts
98, 99 and 107,and aligned. Please check that
the rudder really turns to left when the radio
command is left. Otherwise the reverse switch
or plug has to be changed on your transmitter
(see instruction). May be you will need an ex-
tension cable for your servo.
The receiver will be fixed in front of the battery
with double adhesive tape.
The electronic speed control should also be
fixed with double adhesive tape to one side of
the motor mount. It should be positioned that
way, that switches or potentiometers can easily
be adjusted.
Combine the cables from the motor with the
cables for the motor fro the speed control in
the shortest possible way and soldered to-
gether.
Please note the instruction of the speed control
for the adjusting and use of it. If a BEC is sup-
plied wit the speed control, you will not need
an extra battery for your receiver.
V. Final Work
When all installation is done, please make a
final check all over your model. All joints and
installations should be checked for their clear
and stabile fit and if necessary corrected. Also
please make a test of the trim of the model in
the bath tub before you go to a lake for the first
run. The trim normally needs to be adjusted
with some weights of lead.
Before the first run on the water please make a
reach check of your radio before. For this place
the model onto the stand. Switch on the trans-
mitter and receiver, but leave the antenna of
the transmitter short. Now let the motor run full
speed and use the rudder lever slowly but
constantly left and right. If the rudder also
moves without any tremor, your radio works
well.
