Okey Doky,

Well I read a bit more and the next trick was to setup the Power-Expander so that when I hold the radio stick over for say rudder for two seconds the servos all go to the end point and stay there. Yes that means you hold the stick over, the servos go full throw or to the end points you have on your radio and stay there for you. Cool trick as it means your not like a one armed paper hanger trying to adjust end points and lining up bolts etc.

Then I went and turned on the option so the when setting up ganged servos they go into idle sequentially. That means when your adjusting say servo 1 and 2 then servos 3 a 4 dont have power so they dont effect the setup. When 1 and 2 are done you turn the rotary switch to 3 so now 1,2 and 3 are live and you adjust number three. When thats done you turn the wee switch to number 4 and do it again. Its a bloody breeze guys. Easiest ganged servo setup I have ever seen.

AND!!!!

The current draw right across the servo range from full throw to full throw gives me a current consumption of less than 100 milliamps compared to the servos being disconnected. Hoolly Dooley thats sweet. And no squealing servos. Just silence and perfectly adjusted ganged setup.

I'm hooked on this one guys so if your interested start bombarding Robert at Smart-Fly to see when he will get them into production.

These two photos show the servos on full deflection and the current draw at that. As you can see the reading is between .35 and .40. Given that with no servos the unit is drawing .3 that means we are looking at 50 to 100 milliamps drain on the batteries at full deflection.

Now this is going in my 260 so stay tuned as we get it flying.
