Where do i put the following:
Battery, gyro control unit, receiver, and Revlock
Anyone got a picture of these on their Knight that I can have a look at?
Thanks
Engine and Gyro arrived today ;-) waiting for receiver and servos ;-)

Hi,

This image should help you position some of the bits:

The Rev Lock will fit nicely on top of the Reciever, be sure to use foam padding to protect the electronics. ie, wrap up the Rx, Gyro and battery...

I put the RevLock on top of the throttle servo, battery under metal plate is in photo and RX on top of it - had a 401 so no control unit. On the Avant I put the RX in a box and the control unit on top of it.

One mod I'd recommend is to use Quick UK control rods from the servos to the levers (I used TT ones as I had spare), I found the Compass ones to be very flimsey.

How do I fix the battery and the Rx? Wrap in foam and double sided tape?

wrap in foam, then cable tie the battery on. and elastic band instead of cable tie for the for the rx.

I just used electrical tape, in my RR gallery http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/gallery/34953/ (sorry) you can see my old XeroG Raptor where the battery is on a similar plate and also my Avant where I have the battery, carbon mount thing then RX box with the gyro unit on top.

The battery on all of my models had a neoprene type foam between the mount and battery and on one, I think, I used cable ties in fuel tube which did the job.
