Anyone who has owned a Radian pro will know how awkward it is to plug-in the aileron and flap servo wires when fitting the wing and then pull the wires and plugs down into the fuselage out of the way. This article describes one way to make this process a little bit easier.
First the sockets were labeled using Dymo.
Then the sockets were taped together by wrapping clear tape around. To help to remember which way to plug in, I put the Aileron sockets at the rear and the negative wires together
A recess the correct width and depth was cut into the fuselage to accept the sockets,
And then they were glued into place with foam glue using clear tape and pins to hold in place while it was put aside to dry.
A recess was cut into the wings to take up the excess wire length which was no longer needed,
And this was covered with tape to hold in place.
So now you can save time and frustration when you setup your Radian at the field.
I fly both fixed wing and multirotors and built my first RC plane in 1965 as a 15 year old school boy and flew free flight and control line models before that and have watched the hobby just getting better and better with the availability of Fpv and all the other electronics gear now available.
