K-140 installation in a torus
I'm setting up and installing a k-140 into my Boomerang Torus and i have a few questions. my kingtech is an "f" model and i was wondering if the orientation was critical especially during start up? Second ... is there and distance requirements between the receiver and the ECU ? and last... is there any risk of running the Engine power/data cables next to servo leads . i read through the book and didn't find anything unless i overlooked it. here's some pics of the install in progress , WB_1

Warbird1,
Your set up looks nice and clean. I also have a Torus running a K-140 and the ECU is close to the receiver with no issues. I ran the cables in a loom all together to the back with no issues as well. You should try and keep the turbine in the mount bracket so the starter motor housing arms stay at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. The K-140 is a great match for your plane and you will have a lot of fun with it!!
Good Flying,
