How Do You Connect RC Electronics In An Electric Model Airplane?
An electric model airplane is a complicated model to build, yet a simple one to wire. The electronics contained in an electric airplane all center around the radio receiver, with the various control units connecting to this single receiver. While running the wires along the model’s body is a simple process, it does require careful attention to detail as a mistake in setting up the electronics can doom your carefully created model to an early and disastrous landing. Take the receiver crystal that matches the crystal installed into your transmitter and place it into the radio receiver for your aircraft controls. Plug the servo controlling the rudder into Channel 1 of your receiver. The plugs are color coded to ensure that the proper signals are sent between the receiver and the servos, and each channel is clearly labeled.
