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

I agree with you but the spectrum receivers made the installation simple. The one that I am looking at is the one from boomaAR there lowest model, I believe it will do the trick.

If you are considering a power expander, I have one word. SmartFly!

I have one in my big plane & boy, I just love it , ha !!

Well the Aerobeez 87 inch Typhoon is built completely. Only thing is missing is six servos, batteries and a receiver. Hope to find most of the stuff at JoeNall. The only things that is a stumbling block is the receiver, do not know what Spectrum is going to do with there 12 channel power safe receivers.

I thought the Typhoon is the 78" airplane isn't it? A power expander sounds like over kill for that size plane in my opinion. something like a Spektrum 9020 should be more than enough for that airplane.

I use the power expanders, Smart-Fly, to protect components and ensure everything stays powered come what may. Even with a smaller giants scale there is a lot of expense, why not protect it.

Thanks for all the support and advice. I was thinking of out fitting this plane with all the correct components so that when I finish my ViperST for next year I can just strip it all out of the Typhoon and install it in to the Viper ST. (This is one of Terry's Viper kits.) Just trying to save a little money in the long run. Servos is another item needed. Hopefully I can buy a set of MKS777 at JoeNall for $100. Each would like to try them read a lot about them but never seen one or used one. When it comes to servos it is difficult to choose. I would like to stay around 100 plus or minus 10.
Thanks for all the advice.

Curious how you linked the two Futaba Rx's - Pretty neat

They are linked using a 18sz and r7008sb receivers. When you go to the system menu to link them it has an option for dual receivers. Gives you 16 channels to program for what ever function you want. These are just setup to be redundant they both do the same thing.
