New to electrics - need some help
Greetings!
I have been flying planes off and on for about 30 years, but they have all been glow powered. As a huge Reno Air Race fan, I recently purchased Rochobbies Strega and Voodoo to fly with my boy. But I don't understand the receiver setup. It appears the receiver does not need its own power, but I don't understand how it hooks up. The ESC does not have a plug for the smaller one coming from the battery pack, but does have a plug for the receiver marked throttle. Do I need some strange accessory? Can I use my older 72mhz radio gear or need to upgrade to 2.4?
Hope I posted this in the correct forum,
Thanks!
