D.WATER, DUST AND FUEL
Take suitable measures to prevent water, dust and oil (fuel) from getting into the radio
system. In the event that this does happen, make sure that you clean them off thor-
oughly before you turn it “ON” again.
E.SERVO LINKAGE
Install your linkage rod to product the maximum freedom of movement possible with the
minimum amount of slop and friction; to check these points out, operate each servo over
its full stroke and check if the rod binds or is loose. One great item that we at Hitec have
invented is the “Jam Checker” which is uniquely designed just to detect if there are any
binds in the linkage if they are buried in the installation and cannot be detected easily.
F.POLARITY
Many a model were wasted and junked by a simple but mindless mistake such as con-
necting to the wrong polarity so whenever making a connection, do make sure that they
are the right polarity.
G.RACHET THROTTLE CONTROL
You may defeat the spring mechanism on the throttle stick by placing a Spring Defeat
plate (copper colored) provided on top of the gimbal inside the transmitter case.
