I am putting a big stick 40 together and need a little help with my reciever. I have a Futaba R156 reciever and need tom know where to plug in my battery? I have an on off switch and a voltmeter. Can anyone help?

The battery plugs into the switch the switch plugs into the slot marked 6/B (#6 or Batt) The voltmeter can go into #5. This assumes you are using a single servo or two servos off a Y harnes on chanel 1.

IF you are programming two separate aileron servos, one goes on #1 and the other goes in #6. Plug a Y harnes into 5 and plug both the switch and the voltmeter in to the two ends of the Y harnes.

Thanks very much I dont have much to go on as the reciever had all the plugs pulled out on impact!!!!

You might want to get that receiver checked out if it was in a crash that hard. You could have a cracked circuit board or any number of other issues.

On most receivers, the battery can go in any un-used slot. However, the typical Futaba connection is shown in these pictures.

As was mentioned by Jester, I'd get that receiver checked out before you use it again.

spelling i before e except after c dont be offended but some of us older ones like to see good spelling

I noticed you said you are working on a big stik 40. the R156F is a parkflyer RX with a range of about 500 feet (as per Futaba)
On a .40 sized model i would reccomend a full range reciever like the Futaba FP148DF.

Thanks for all the help. Has anyone used Dymond receivers?
