Installation - RC Module

 


The RC Module connects the Profi to the servos and receiver.

   

Carefully study the pin assignment.

   

Note the connection's orientation.

   

 

Follow the wiring diagram below.

 

NOTE:  There is NO relation between the leads (left side) and pins (right side).  i.e. Many make the mistake of of lining up the aileron lead on the left to the first row of pins to the right.

 

 

   

The regulator cable connects the GPS, Profi and PC.

 

I installed this at this point as it had to go inside my "blackbox".

 

   

A closer look at the connectors.

 

Note:  One "female" side is shorter than the other.  They are electronically identical and are interchangeable.

   

 

I made a "blackbox" to easily connect all the components together.

 

The "blackbox" contains the receiver and RC Module and cable slack.

 

Notice the color coding for the servo wires.

 

Shown on the outside is Futaba 611 gyro control module installed on top.  This was temporary until the first test flight.  Later on I switched to the internal gyro.

 

   

The "blackbox" installed.

   

Note the screw holes where tail boom brace would screw into are used for the L-brackets on the blackbox.

 

Also notice the tail boom brace on the right side has been repositioned above the Profi to avoid blocking the optics.
