•Connect the servos and switches firmly as
shown in Fig. 20. Then extend the transmitter
and receiver antennas fully.
•Set the transmitter power switch to ON. then
set the receiver power switch to ON. The servos
stop near the neutral position. Operate the
transmitter sticks and check if the corresponding servos faithfully follow operation of the
sticks.
•After setting the pushrods at the servo horns,
check that the direction of operation of the
transmitter sticks and the direction of operation of the rudders are the same.
•Operate each servo horn over its entire operating range and check if the pushrod binds, or is
too loose. Applying unreasonable force to the
servo
horn
will
adversely
affect the
servo
and
quickly drain the batteries. Always make the
operating width of each rudder somewhat larger
than the full stroke (including trim) of the
servo horn. Adjust the servo horns so that
operate
smoothly
even
when the
trim
lever
and
stick lever are operated simultaneouly in the
same direction.
•Be alert for noise.
If engine vibration causes metal parts to touch,
noise will be produced and the receiver and
servos may operate incorrectly. We recommend
the use of noiseless parts.
•When installing the switch, cut a rectangular
hole somewhat larger than the full stroke of the
for Rudder Servo
switch and install the switch so it moves smoothly from ON to OFF. When the switch is
mounted inside the fuselage and is turned ONOFF with wire, install the switch mount as
described above. Install the switch where it will
not come into direct contact with engine oil,
dust, etc.
•Even though the receiver antenna is long.
do
not cut or bundle it.
•The
servos,
Ni-Cad
battery,switches,extension
cords, and crystals of FP-7FGH are the same
as those of the high-quality J Series. The crystals
are extremely precise and are identified by
color (red and green). Use Tx and Rx crystals
of the same color.
•A spare horn is supplied. Use it as needed.
•Wrap the receiver in sponge rubber. Place the
receiver in a plastic bag and wrap a rubber band
around the open end of the bag to waterproof
and dustproof the
receiver.
Do
the
same
with
the receiver/servo battery.
•Use the rubber bands wrapped
around the
receiver to hold the servo and switch leads.
•After mounting is complete, recheck each
part, then make the transmitter antenna as
short as possible, extend the receiver antenna
fully,
and
operate
the
set
from a distance
of
20m to 30m. The movement of each rudder
(servo) should faithfully follow the operation
of each stick of the transmitter.
