INSTALL THE HEAT TAPE The heat tape was not installed on the back of the plane to facilitate wiring of the elevators, rudders, and turbine. When you are happy with the set up, install the heat tape to cover all the holes in the fuselage. You can opt to use film covering instead. The heat in that area is not severe. The covering will not melt. The heat tape is included with the kit. It is similar to home ducting tape. CONCLUSION Some modelers like to slave the operation of one function such as an aileron to the other using two channels. The argument for this is that they can get both surfaces dialed in perfectly. Actually if you build and set up you model correctly in the first place the throw and centering of the above functions is easily obtainable without wasting extra channels. Indeed if you tried this on such a model as the DV8R, you would need eight channels for the flight surfaces alone, add Retracts, Brakes, Throttle, Turbine kill switch, a gyro and we’re up to 13 channels already! My DV8R utilizes “Y-harnesses” on all of the above and saves valuable channel space. In addition, operations like “Crow” are not necessary on DV8R, it has great slow down capabilities with the flaps. 33
