Thanks Gyro for the help...This is my first BIG plane..just stuck in my 3-4 cell ways...Jason

No worries! Helping each other is what this place is all about

Anybody used the Castle arming link? I have that deal with the deans plug on the side of my 2M plane..I would rather not use that here if not needed..

I use the arming link it works great. You do have to enable that feature in the esc though.

I have one of these that I had intended in putting in a 30cc electric. Never got around to it. I used the bigger one in my 50cc electric 89 slick.

Those things are way cool. You see those a lot on 2M competition planes..The Castle one should be pretty neat as its free...If you email them...

Tests have shown servos will last longer when set for 7.5 or 8v. Even though the servos are rated for 8.4v it's assumed that it'll be unregulated lipo, in which voltage does drop during flight.

Thanks Gyro, As far as the BEC...I was gonna splice(solder) my input wires into the ESC leads..I`m just using the 6s for power and no RX battery..I don`t see the point of trying to solder everything into the ESC input connector...Does that sound correct?

That is exactly how I did mine.
(I'm also running a CC BEC pro on my Velox)

Gyro, where do most people normally mount the BEC? side of the motorbox? underneath battery tray? I`m 6s electric ,not gas...I just copy people when it comes to 3DHS stuff..It works well..Thx..Jason
