MIG 29 - FUTABA 7CH 2.4GHz Setup (Make a link out stores that sell this radio):
Thrust vectoring Elevator Servo Installation -
Here you can see the Servo tray, the two servos controling the Elevator and the reciever I velcroed to the side of the body.
Aileron serovs installation -
Securing the Servos in place:
I used low temo hot glue gun to glue them in place. the way to do this is:
Step 1:
Wrap the servo in tape.
Step 2:
Using the low temp hot glue gun dab both sides with glue and slide into place. Dab the servo not the foam.
Step 3: secure with additional glue on both sides of the servo.
Pushrods:
I am using a Dubro 20" Micro Pushrod system that i find works great. I use this for the Elevators with the sleevs.
Once the serovs are installed connect the control horns to the control surfaces. Here I also like to use the Dubro Control horns as i stick them through the foam and then hot glue them from both sides for a good hold.
Pushrod & Control horn installation -
Step 1 -
Locate where to place the control horn and push it through the foam.
Step 2 -
Connect pushrod and EZ connector to servo and make sure everything is working without interference with full range of motion.
Step 3 -
Remove horn from foam and put a drop of hot glue in the hole in the foam and push the control horn through the hole. finish up with some hot glue on the the other side.
** Dont forget to hold the control horn in place while glue cools.
