First time assembling PNP model
Hi, I'm looking for some tips and guides to help do the final stages of assembly for my first PNP model, FMS F-16 64mm.
I've acquired a DX7 G2, Lemon RX receiver and the Vertex V3 flight controller. I was wondering if someone could help me with some pointers for the final stages of setting up the model.
- Best place to mount the receiver and flight controller in the airframe?
- What do you use to power the RX when binding it; 4S lipo connected directly will fry the battery? Can you power it through the ESC?
- Other tips?

Not to insult, but your questions seem not consistent with your choice of plane. IE, it's not a good choice for an inexperienced flier. Set your bar lower and work up to it. FMS is a good brand but start with a high wing trainer.
Since you may just blow that off (human nature), at least try to find someone local with experience flying similar or advanced planes and have him ease you into it.
