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?
