I just started to build my 710 and due having the first step have the wrong part (two left side lower bulkheads, no right side, lol) I started on other parts and build the shocks and radio tray. Which leads me to ask...
what were they thinking but the rx and servo's right in the path of fuel overflow? Has anyone has issues with this? Its kinda hard to protect the rx or put it in a bag since there isnt much room and the wires wouldnt quite fit... Anyone have insight into this?
Sorry to hear you got a kit packed on a Monday morning
As for Rx and servo being subjected to fuel, I put my Rx in a baloon and acctually never have had a problem with it or with the Servo for fuel spills. Most Rx will fit inside a baloon and all the wires too, you just need to plan for it. I have used both Novak and Futaba Rx:s with no problem. The wires can be bundled up neatly together and tuck to the die of the Rx, or you can fit them in under the upperdeck, between steering and throttle servo. All this said, if you ask Michael Salven, he did get his day ruined when someone fuled his Rx in the 710 at winternats.....
