Default RE: Installing R/C equipment

There are not very good instructions with a radio. The radio manufacturers take it for granted that this is not your first time. The way I figured out how to install my first radio, was going by the kits instructions, illustrations and plans. They always tell you where to put the servo supports and from there depending on the type plane. there are usually three servos in the fuselage and one on the wing. The switch goes through the side of the fuselage and the battery and receiver location can usually be explained in the kits instructions or on the plans also. The receiver and battery need to be wrapped in foam also. The battery plugs into the first space on the receiver, the aileron in th second, the elevator third, the throttle fourth and the rudder fifth. The battery space on the receiver should be marked but that is how they are plugged in. This actually makes Channel 1 ailerons, 2 elevator, 3 throttle, and 4 rudder. Channel 1 is the second space on the receiver. Hook the battery to the switch and the wire from the switch to the receiver. On the switch there are 2 wires coming out of one side and 1 on the other side. The battery gets plugged into the female plug on the side with 2 wires. The other wire on that side is the charge wire. The wire coming out the other side goes into the batter space in the receiver. As far as the control rods I think you can figure that out by the plans and common sense. I sure hope this helps.
