Default Re: EQ6 Usage for newbie

Personally you should of got the PE 12 instead.

You can plug servos into the Rx but the voltage is lower than expected since the RX only gets 5v from the EQ6. Not a suggested idea from Bob when I asked about it ahwile ago. I would think smoke might be a better choice since it typically is an on/off or ESC with a dedicated battery. You would just need to know the input voltage required.

Best surface to control with one channel is Rudder. The EQ6 has multiple inputs on each channel so it should work. Also you can try using a mix in the radio so that you can tie the ignition kill to a servo and a switch. You really need to list out your plan on how you are going to hook things up. You could also bypass the radio wing setup and use the EQ6 to do it.

For example, this is how my P-47 is setup

1. throttle
2. Left aileron (both servos and use EQ6 to match them)
3. Rudder
4. Left Elevator (use dual elevator setting in radio to tie channels together)
5. Right aileron (both servos and use EQ6 to match them)
6. Ignition Kill/choke servo
7. Right Elevator (use dual elevator setting in radio to tie channels together)
8. bomb drop

directly into RX is smoke
