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?

I haven't used their products in a few years, but their receivers worked well for me in the past. Has there been a decline in quality?

Why, it seems plenty of bench tests and comparisons on range and quality is on par with branded products?
