A reliable power connection is critical in any high-performance RC aircraft, particularly in turbine jets and large-scale models where system integrity and ease of maintenance are essential. To address this need, we have developed a dedicated mounting solution specifically designed for pilots and builders using Advanced Radio AR1 connectors and battery systems.
This purpose-built advanced radio AR1 connector mounts provide a secure, organized, and professional method for installing AR1 connectors within the aircraft. By properly supporting the connectors, the mount helps prevent movement, reduces strain on wiring, and ensures consistent, reliable electrical connections during operation. The result is a cleaner installation that improves both accessibility and overall system reliability.
To accommodate a wide range of aircraft layouts and installation preferences, the AR1 connector mount is offered in three configurations: a Flat Mount, a 90-Degree Side Mount, and a 30-Degree Angled Mount. These options allow builders to position connectors in the most efficient orientation for their specific airframe, making battery connections easier while maintaining a neat and compact installation.
Installation is straightforward and designed with practicality in mind. The female AR1 connectors are inserted directly into the mount as demonstrated in our assembly video. Once seated, the connectors are securely retained within the mount, creating a stable interface point for the Advanced Radio male battery lead. This design allows batteries to be connected quickly and confidently without placing unnecessary stress on the wiring or connector body.
The end result is a highly functional mounting system that simplifies battery connection while improving the overall organization of the aircraft’s power distribution setup. By securely locating the AR1 connectors in a fixed position, builders can achieve a clean, professional installation that enhances both serviceability and operational confidence.
This mounting solution was developed with the needs of serious RC aircraft builders in mind, delivering a practical and reliable way to integrate Advanced Radio AR1 connectors into modern RC aircraft power systems.
