Section 14: Installing the Radio
Step 6. Use radio packing foam (available at your local hobby
shop) when you install the receiver and battery pack. There is
ample room for the battery pack in the forward part of the
fuselage. Place as far forward as possible to help balance the
model. The receiver is mounted to the plywood servo tray in the
fuselage using rubber bands as shown below. Be sure to wrap
the battery and receiver securely with foam when you install them
in the fuselage.

Step 7. Route the antenna back through the fuselage using an
antenna tube (not included), or route it outside the fuselage back
to the vertical fin. Install the switch on the left side of the rear
fuselage so that it is easily accessible.
Step 8. Mount the switch harness. Connect the three servos in
the fuselage to the receiver and then connect the switch harness
to the receiver and battery pack as outlined in your radio's
instructions. Turn on your transmitter and receiver and center
your transmitter trims. Then turn off the receiver, then the
transmitter in that order. Your servos will now be in the
"electrical zero" position. Make sure your servo horns are
positioned to reflect this "neutral" or "0" position, as
measurements for your control linkages depend on correct
positioning of the servo arms, both mechanically and
electrically.
