5Foam RubberTwo Layers5Position the crystal side at the top instead of the bottom side. Please referto the following diagrams.Space available in your model will determine how much padding can beplaced around the receiver. When the receiver in a good quality foam rubber,such as those available from Du-Bro, Carl Goldberg, Sig, and others. R/Cfoam is made from natural rubber, which eliminates vibration far better thansynthetic foam, (such as the kind used for packing many consumer times).CAUTIONThe receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts arevulnerable to vibration and shock.NOTEWhen wrapping the receiver, keep in mind that you are trying to cushiona delicate piece of electronic equipment, so "wrap" the foam, don't"stretch" it around the receiver.CrystalHELPFUL HINTIt is quite a simple way to isolate the receiver from vibration by attachingto the chassis or mounting plate with thick double-sided tape.Many modelers prefer to install their receiver into the model at this point,with no further protection. Another sizeable group of modelers prefer to goa step further, and place the foam-wrapped receiver into a plastic bag,secured with a rubber band around the receiver case as well as the servoand battery wires.The advantage of the plastic wrap is the protection against fuel or oil in theevent of a major crash. The disadvantage of the plastic, especially if yourun the model in very hot and humid conditions or wet days, is that moisturecan accumulate inside the receiver.CAUTIONAny contact with moisture i.e. water or condensation may causemalfunction and loss of control.HELPFUL HINTIf you choose to wrap your receiver in both foam and a plastic bag, itis recommended to periodically remove the receiver from your model,remove the foam and bag to let the receiver "air out". This maintenanceprocedure will let you determine if any moisture is accumulating in theprotective wrap. Small holes cut into the bag will allow airflow into thereceiver, and eliminate the need for the periodic checks, although youwill lose a certain amount of protection against fuel or oil with this step.Battery installationAlways wrap the battery pack in foam, and mount it in the location specifiedin your models instructions. It is also recommended to wrap the battery packin a plastic bag, as its location (close to engine and fuel tank) makes fuelproofing vital.Switch installationPick the most convenient location for your on/off switch as required by yourparticular model. Always mount the switch on the opposite side of the engineexhaust. After mounting the switch, carefully bundle any excess servo wireswith cable ties, keeping them away from any moving item (pushrod, servoarm, etc.) that could catch and cut the wires. Any empty space in yourfuselage radio compartment can be filled with excess foam.Rubber Spacer |
