    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I just installed my wing servos with the cf plates on the top of them and one definite benefit is the rubber grommet does not get all twisted out of shape when tightening the screws down. It also appears that the clamping force is more equally distributed. I will definitely be using these on...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Actually when I was having the issues I contacted Hitec and they sent the amps to me at no cost. I just checked their web site and can't even find them. There is a description, for lack of a better term, HS-Boost on one side and possibly a part number, MHS-2625 on the other side of both of them.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Last night I installed new regulators and 3s lipos in the red 330LX. 2 5000's to the cb200 and one 2700 for the ignition. I never realized that the cb200 had a .4 to .5 voltage drop so the servos were only getting 5.4 volts! They are now getting 6.5 volts :) What a difference in speed 1 volt...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I will post some pictures as I am doing it but, I don't know about a whole thread on it. My covering skills are not that good. The scheme is simple yet elegant. It is the same scheme as one of the British aerobatic pilot's 330SC :-)

    There are no switches on the outside of the plane at all :) Nice and clean.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I am also adding 2 leds, one to indicate system power and one to indicate ignition power. They will be right behind the pilot's head so I can see them from the front of the plane. Thought about making the leds be the pilot's eyes but, didn't want to disconnect wires every time I took the canopy off.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I am using the SP-06 electronic switch with the output going to a regulator to drop the voltage to 6 volts. The key is having the battery on the input side directly and the regulator on the output side of the switch. I have heard of people putting the regulator on the input side of the switch...

    I am using a cb200 and have 2 regulators feeding it. I use 2 5000mah 2s lipos into an electronic switch which feeds the regulators. Everything is powered on remotely from the transmitter. Ignition is on its own circuit with 2s 2550 feeding it regulated to 6 volts. It is also controlled by a...

    Worked on setting up the Jeti cb200 for the Red 330lx and did some experimenting with led's. Man do I like the Jeti system :) Oh yea, also setup the rudder, choke and throttle servos :) Getting closer :)

    Mounted the ZDZ-180 on the Red 330LX. Also mounted the throttle and choke servo trays, glued in the fuel tank tray and the rails for the plate to block off the carb area from the rest of the fuse :) 6S lipos make great weights for keeping things in place until the epoxy cures!

    @GSNadmin this needs to be a sticky somewhere so we can find it later when we need it :) I will be using it this winter I am sure of it while creating a new IMAC master piece :)
