How Do You Install RC Equipment In A Model Airplane?
RC airplanes have several moving surfaces that are controlled by the transmitter. The signal from the transmitter is translated into servo movements by the receiver. The servos turn and either push or pull on the pushrods. The pushrods make the control surface move and change the plane’s position in the air. The pushrods, control horns, servos, receiver and on-board battery pack all have to be installed prior to flying the plane. Create pushrods to run from the servos to the control horns. Pushrods can be made from metal rod, carbon fiber rods, wood or plastic. Make sure the length can be adjusted by up to 1 inch. Locate the plans or instruction manual for the plane you are building, they will show where the servos need to be mounted. Some kits have a plywood servo tray included that gets built into the fuselage. If your plane does not have a servo tray, use the one that came with your RC equipment. Test fit the servos into the tray and make sure the servo arms can rotate without hitti
