3. Install the switch and charge jack for your radio system.
We recommend that you use a heavy-duty switch such as
the Futaba heavy-duty charge switch (FUTM4385) and the
Ernst charge receptacle (ERNM3001).

4. Install the receiver to the fuselage. Follow the instructions
for antenna installation that came with your brand of receiver.
Be sure to place it on a cushion of 1/4" [6.4mm] foam. Secure
it with tie wraps or Velcro.
❏
5. We used a 2.4GHz radio system. If you are going to use
a 72MHz receiver, we have installed a tube for the antenna.
Route the antenna into the tube.
❏
6. Plug all of the servo leads into the appropriate channels
in the receiver. Depending on your transmitter you may wish
to use separate channels for each of the four ailerons. For
our set up we used "Y" connectors to have the ailerons in two
channels. You can also use "Y" connectors to have all four
servos work in one channel. Refer to your radio manual for
the best use of the radio channels.
