RE: EXPERIENCED RC PILOT FLYING -TIPS
HI i have learned to secure the servo connection from my battery pack to my rx to something stationary in the fuse of the airframe -so as to prevent vibration from gigling the connection and causing it to become intermitent- i heat shrink over the connection or use a wire tie and then use silicone (only -GE silicone two ) it to foam or balsa in the fuse-i lost two planes prior to doing this-no battery connection -no controlsand have not had that problem for 20 years since i will also use silicone after wrapping my RX and batteries in foam- to hold them down inside the plane- it handles vibration very well and pulls right off when you need to remove those parts works well to hold down foam covered glo fuel tanks also ( i wrap my tanks in duck tap-to prevent tank expansion- so the pressure can do its intended job ) do use ONLY GE silicone two- as when it cures it gives off a base -unlike othe silicone that cure giving off an acid that could be harmful to radio equipment hope these tips will keep your planes flying longer and in better control while there (flying on rails ) -many more tips to come- REGARDS TONY
