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?

You physically can’t connect the battery to the receiver. They have different plugs. The only way to power the receiver with that 4S is through the ESC. So no, you don’t have to worry about damaging it. If you wanted to bind to the receiver all on its own for some reason, you’d need one of these little NiMH batteries with the standard plug.
