Center of mount should be approximately 8.5" forward of canopy bolt hole. Voltage regulator (if used) is velcro attached to bottom of mount under receiver.

Second Remote receiver (optional with 9-ch) is mounted on top of battery box in nosecone. A 24” “Spektrum” extension is required. A simple wood mount is fabricated to orient antennas laterally. This Spektrum installation has proven very successful in many flights at considerable distances. NO range problems have been found and very “LOW” numbers have been achieved on the Flight Log (i.e., all 4 antennas reading less than “20” with no fades or holds. Note: BVM demo KingCats and BobCats have many successful flights on Spektrum 7 and 9 channel radios.
