Assemble the model carefully
Install and adjust all control surface linkages in such a way that the surfaces
move smoothly and freely, and are not stalled even at maximum travel. Do
not use the radio control to regularly limit servo travels. Preferable: Adjust
control surface levers and pushrods mechanically and as thoroughly as
possible. Avoid lost motion (sloppy linkages). Use configuration options on
the servo side of the RC transmitter only for fine-tuning.
Observe the above-mentioned guidelines to make full use of the resolution
(positioning accuracy) of your radio control system.
Provide effective protection from vibration to the receiver, battery, servos
and other RC and electronic components. Observe the advice included in
the relevant operating instructions. Balance propellers and rotor blades
before use and replace them at any sign of damage. Install I.C. engines on
vibration-absorbing mounts and replace motors or motor parts which are
damaged or do not run true.
Do not strain or bend cables; protect them against rotating parts.
Keep servo cables as short as possible.
Use cables with sufficient cross-section.
Do not coil up or shorten the receiver aerial. Do not lay the aerial on or close
to electrically conductive components. Deploy aerials outside of fuselages
with a shielding effect (carbon fibre, metallic painted finish).
Ensure that the receiver power supply is of adequate capacity. For servos up
to about 40Ncm torque you can estimate the required battery capacity using
the following formula:
Capacity [mAh] ≥ number of servos x 200 mAh.
Use the next larger size of battery!
Take care to maintain sufficient distance between cables carrying heavy
currents (e.g. electric power system) and the RC system. Especially the
cables between brushless electric motors and their actuators must be kept
as short as possible (guide value: max. 10 to 15 cm).
