SECTION 5 – HINTS AND TIPS
Basic Setup
It is recommended that you install the X24 on the C/G of your aircraft if
possible.
This typically allows for connections to ailerons, flaps, landing
gear, etc. straight out each side of the X24. PORTC should face towards the
tail of your aircraft, allowing the elevator and rudder connections going
straight back. PORTD and PORTE can handle your ignition, throttle, smoke,
etc. Using this type of setup allows for the cleanest installation, and uses
the shortest wire routing for the servos.
Mounting
The X24 can be mounted with either #4 or #6 size screws or bolts. You can
use #4 size screws commonly used for mounting servos along with #4 size
bounded rubber washers. These will help with vibration. If vibration is not a
real concern, then #6 size servo mounting screws can be used. Optionally,
brass grommets used with servos can be used to take up extra space of the
screw body. Use a foam mounting pad in high vibration applications, like
gas engines. XPS offers foam mounting pads.
Refer to Figure 30 for exact hole mounting locations. If you print this page
in 100% scale, you can use this template for drilling the mounting holes.
You can also use this template for making a foam or rubber pad by cutting
the template out, placing it over a foam or rubber pad, tracing the edges,
and then cutting out the shape of the pad.
