All right fellas, all you guys using Smartfly power expanders, drop some knowledge!
I decided to go with a Smart-fly power expander on my 33% H9 extra.
I running 6 - 5945mg, 2 - 5995TG's, a Futaba digi on throtle, A Smart-Fly fiber optic kill switch, So I figured that running nice clean power to these servos will be benificial.
Since I have never owned a power expander before I have a few questions.
1) I ordered the Futaba expander from Smartfly , and received the Futaba one.(has Fut markings) BUT the channel order of the single wire leads comming from the power expander do not match up with the channel numbers on my reciever, it's exactly the opposite.
The single wire leads comming out of the expander are too short to cross or do anything like that So my question is, If I mentally keep track of the channels will it effect anything?
The rec ch 8 goes to expander ch 1, 7-2, 6-3, 5-4, 4-5, 3-6, 2-7, 1-8.
2) the deans "power in" (just to clairfy), this is my MAIN power in for everything correct? As in, I add a deans connector to the output of my regulator.and plug the reg into the expander. (its a fromeco 4800 into a HD switch, into the fromeco reg, then into the expander?
Is that basically it?
I'm sure its just this simple, but you guys know how it is.... anytime its the first time I actually own something... I always like to get a second opinion before I proceed into turning stuff on!
I'll post a picture of the set up when I get home tonight.
Thanks!
