Settup for Electrical/with backup for 27%/Hangar 9 extra 260

[porcupineace]

so, fuel situ taken care of, can some of you tell me the safe and BEST way to set up my electrical systems on my 27%??? using a da50/ jr and futaba servos/futaba rx/ Futaba 9c (BOTH syth)? I like OVERKILL (no crash and boom...OHSH#$%^&*(!!!!)Thanks!

1 Rx, 2 batteries, 2 regulators, 2 switches(for the Rx), 1 battery and regulator for Igntion. I used to run flat 3 pole wire, then I have recently switched over to twisted wires.

You will get MANY differing opinions on this matter. An airframe that size I feel does not have the need for a PBX. I feel the above method is the best way around! KISS method!!!!

thank you, any others out there with ideas?????need some opinions all!

[hipollito]

hey I have one of these and im running 1 receiver, 1 110 mah nicad pack for ignition, 1 2200 mah nimh pack for receiver, two switches and thats it. using hitec 645 all around and da 50

[porcupineace]

thanks again Bunky...and thanks Hipolito....but dude...it belongs on the plane ,not your head(Funny pic!) can any of you guys out there be more specific on regulators and switching hook ups,batteries(lipo,nicad,nimhyd???and how did you wire them? What gauge wire?why more than what switch?the manufacturer and why you prefer them....thank you.

I use 2 Fromeco 2400 Li-Ion packs feeding a Power Box Sensor Switch. For the ignition I use a 2500 mAh 4.8V NiMH and remote kill switch.

There are some pics of my setup here: Is the 27% Extra 260 ARF a good start into giant scale?

On my similar size Yak, I use 1 2400mAh Relion battery, one Fromeco Badger switch and one regulator into one receiver..

Same thing for the ignition.

You could double the battery/switch/regulator if you wanted too

[porcupineace]

so i take it that i need a regulator to lower the volts to the servos? yes? better to run on 6 or 4.8???which do you prefer and why? how long before recharge on lipo batterries with a set up like this? and for the engine? lipos too? and another regulator? where do i put the ignition cuttoff and charge jacks(2)???? ah, confusing!

[porcupineace]

using six servos, one reciever, one ignition.....

[niccolo98]

ok, pretty much this is what i have!
1 duralite 2900 Li-ion on the reciever 1 regulator (left side of the fuse, pre cut at the factory)
1 duralite 2200 li-ion on the ignitioin 1 regulator (right side of the fuse, do it yourself)
and thats about all you need, with the da that plane is gonna come out heavy, i have a zdz 50 in there and i pretty much only put what i have to, to be able to fly and its still heavy. Trust me, try to go as light as possible.
hope that helps,
nick

[niccolo98]

and yes, you do need the regulator, to lower the voltage to the reciever(servos) and you might need it on the ignitioin, unless your ignition can take the voltage your battery puts out!

higher voltage to the servos means more torque and speed this is a good thing, yes it will drain your batteries slightly faster but you will not notice. See what type of ignition you have some can take lithium direct and some must be regulated. You purchace HD switches with built in charge jacks for the receiver and ignition, charge through the charge jack.

Verry important when wiring it must be batt--switch--regulator---receiver(or ignition). The switch must be between the battery and regulator regulators draw power even under no load.

On your H9 don't get crazy with the length of your servo arms if using stock hardware, it will flutter to its death on its maiden. If you are going to set up 3D throws, get some better pushrods(H9 Titaniun, 4-40 all thread with carbon finer over it etc..)
