Arrangement
ot
baftery,
servos
and
receiver
The sketch
below
shows
the
ideal arrangement
of
components
inside the
model.
ll
possible,
decide
on lhe
location
of the
RC equipment
in
your
model before
you
start
building.
Receiver
tips
Please bear the
following
points
in mind when
installing
the
receiver
in
your
model.
.
Keep
it well away
from
powerful
electric
motors
and
electrical
ignition systems.
.
Lead the
aerial out of
the
model by the shortest
possible
route.
.
Protect the
receiver
from vibration
(wrap
it
in
sott
Ioam and stow
it loosely
in the model).
.
Do not alter the
length of the
aerial.
.
Deploy the
aerial
in
as
straight a
line as
possible
(never
leave
it
coiled
up).
.
Do
not deploy the
aerial
inside a carbon
fibre
reinforced
model component
(signal
screening)
.
Do
not
stick
the end
of the aerial
to a carbon
fibre reinforced
model component
(signal
screenlng).
Range
testing
Range testing
is
one
of those
processes
which
make
a
real difference
to the satety
of
your
model.
We have
designed
a
range check
procedure
based on
our
experience
and
measurements
which will
keep
you
firmly
on
the safe side
at all times.
1.
Collapse
the transmitter
aerial
completely.
2. Ask
your
assistant
to
hold the
model about
1 m
above
the
ground.
3. Check that
there are
no large
metal obiects
(cars,
wire fences) close
to the
model.
4.
Carry
out the
range check
only
when no other
transmitters
are switched
on
(even
on ditferent
channels).
5. Switch
on the transmitter
and
receiver.
When
the distance
between
transmitter
and
model is
80
m,
the control
surfaces
should
react clearly
to
stick
movements, and should
not make any
unwanted
deflections.
It
yours
is
a
powered
model the test
should be
carried
out twice:
with and
without the
motor
running.
Servo
tips
The
servo
torque
required for any
model can be
calculated
with an adequate
degree of
precision
using
the
following
approximate
formula:
0.75
x
control
surtace
area
(in
sq cm)
/ 100
=
servo
torque
in cm/kg
In
large models
it is often
necessary to extend
servo
leads, but
please
nole that
long extension
leads
influence
reception characteristics.
lf
the
servo
lead is longer than
60 cm
(total)
it
is
essential
to use
a separation
filter.
lf
other
leads
run
parallel
to these
long leads over
a
distance of
more than
25 cm, then
the
parallel
leads
should also
be
fitted with separation
filters. There are
various solutions
to this
problem
Ready-made
separation
filter lead
(Order No.
8 5058)
This lead can simply
be connected
between
servo
plug
and
receiver output, and
is ideal
for use
in models which
are already
completed.
Extension
lead with separation
filter
(
60 cm Order
No.8 5087)
(
120 cm Order
No. 8 5083)
Extension
lead Rit with separction
tilter
(max.
2 m Order
No.8 5138)
This kit
is
designed
to allow
you
to
connect servos
which
are
installed in
wings
or
tail surfaces.
hterterence
suppression
with
magneto
/ electronic
ignition
.
Screen
the
ignition lead
with an expanded
metal
sleeve,
and
fix
(earth)
it
to
the crankcase
close
to
the
ignition coil.
.
Use
a shielded
sparkplug
connector.
.
The
receiver battery
must
not be used to
power
the
ignition
system.
.
Keep the
ignition system at
least
15
cm
away
from all
parts
of the
receiving system
-
including
the
receiver battery.
.
Keep the
leads between
ignition system
and
ignition
battery as
short as
possible,
and
ot
generous
cross-section
(at
least 0.5 sq
mm).
.
lf
you
use
an
ignition switch
it
should
be
rated at
10 A
minimum
(to
minimise
voltage loss).
