Default RE: Exceed F/A-18C Problems Prep

The plane you will receive already comes with a separate BEC wired in. No need to do anything with that.

Bend the gear out a bit after installation and that's it.

I do prefer better linkages, so I would advise you to also change the rods and clevises, but that is all that is needed.

The RX works fine, but test it to be sure, though I advise not using the included radio and instead go with something that provides Expo.

I ended up purchasing an inexpensive Polk Tracker III to handle my fleet of N.P. Foamy EDF's.... A great buy as it works with any 72mhz shift pattern, any channel, has a build in frequency scanner, 99 model memory, and is computer controlled... I've had no problems using it with this and other included RX's.

Again however test out the RX and after re-inserting the crystal tape it in place and test it out.

Also run the motor through several complete battery discharges just to make sure the power system and EDF are ready.
