Still fussing with the radio install for 2.4ghz throttle control.


What I thought was a lot of room for such a little radio system I have found to be other wise once the bell crank and push rod went in.


The switch is very easy to access on the outside. Very convenient. And ion the inside it is stuffed into the back corner.


The Rx is is glued to some rc 1/4" foam on ones side only, and then the foam is glued to the fuse side. I think it is pretty secure. I did the same thing with the voltage regulator. It's heat sink aluminum plate is exposed to air so should not overheat.


I am still thinking and trial fitting the placement of the wires and antenna to keep them clear of all the moving parts to ovoid jamming something and also avoid chaffing of a wire or the antenna.


The battery is a Li-Po, and has to be removed to be safely charged. There have been way to many fires and burned structures because of not isolating them during charge. I will not make that mistake.


Finding a place to stick the battery securely and have it easily removable for charging is being a challenge to say the least.
