• Be alert for noise.

If engine vibration causes metal parts to
touch, noise will be produced and the re-
ceiver and servos may operate incorrectly.
We recommend the use of noiseless parts.
• When installing the switch, cut a rectangu-
lar hole somewhat larger than full stroke
of the switch and install the switch so that
it moves smoothly from ON to OFF. When
the switch is mounted inside the fuselage
and is turned ON-OFF with wire, install
the switch mount in the same manner.
Install the switch where it will not come
into direct contact with the engine oil,
dust, etc.
• Even though the receiver antenna is long,
do not cut or bundle it.
• Install the servo firmly. Refer to Pig. 10 at
the right.
•A spare servo horn is supplied. Use it as
needed. Do not forget to install the tooth
washer when changing the horn.
•Wrap the receiver in sponge rubber. Place
the receiver in a plastic bag and wrap a
rubber band around the open end of the
bag to waterproof and dustproof the re-
ceiver. Do the same with the receiver bat-
tery.
• Also use the rubber bands wrapped around
the receiver to hold the servo and switch
leads.
•After mounting is complete, recheck each
part, then make the transmitter antenna as
short as possible, extend the receiver an-
tenna fully, and operate the set from a dis-
tance of 22 to 33 yards (20 to 30m) for
range check. The movement of each servo
should follow the operation of each stick
of the transmitter.
