8. Preparations

The model ship „Aqua Mania" is delivered ready for operation. Only a few steps, such as installation of the receiver
system, are required for commissioning.
Before completing the model or taking it into operation, read each section carefully. The construction stages
are almost always illustrated for better understanding.
Please note that the numbers in the text always refer to the components in the illustration to the right.
Models of this category are, however, usually assembled according to the user's own wishes and ideas.
Only carry out the steps described in the different sections if you have completely understood the procedure
and know exactly what to observe.
a) Installation and Connection of the Servo
Water is much harder than air. Therefore, ship models require steering servos with a much higher actuating
power as compared to boat size than plane models would. See our catalogues at www.conrad.com for tried
and tested accessories.
• The adjacent figure shows the opened RC box
with the steering servo (1), the speed controller
(2), as well as a possible installation site for the
receiver (3).
• Take off the hull deck by pushing in the knurled
closures while also turning it clockwise at a 90°
angle. Remove the screws of the RC box and
remove the cover.
• Connect the steering servo to channel 1 of the
receiver.
Start the remote control. The receiver system is
ideally not supplied with the BEC of the speed
controller yet, but by a receiver battery (or battery
box) from the accessories of the remote control.
For this, observe the operating instructions for the
remote control system.
• Set the steering and the associated trimming to the neutral position at the activated transmitter. Attach the rudder
horn of the servo to the „Z" of the thrust rod and place the rudder horn on the servo so that the rudder horn is aligned
precisely with the longitudinal direction of the servo in its neutral position (see figure 1). Secure the rudder horn at
the servo output with the central screw. Check the function of the steering servo.
• Now attach the steering servo in the holder of the RC box with the included accessories as displayed in figure 1. The
connection of the rudder to the steering rods is explained in one of the following chapters.
