Radio system for Turbinator?
Just about to complete my Turbinator jet and was thinking about the radio system which will be needed?
The servos / channels are:
Aileron - 2 servos
Flap - 2 servos
Elevator - 2 servos
Rudder - 1 servo
Nose leg steering - 1 servo
ECU (throttle) - 1 channel
Gear - 1 channel
Brakes - 1 channel
So do I Y lead the flaps, elevators and rudder / nose leg, which would give 8 channels and mix in the brakes to down elevator?
I was thinking of buying the new Spektrum DX 9 which should be ok for the Y lead set up or would it be better to go with the Spektrum DX 18 which would not need the Y leads, if using the expander box.
Or option three would be the DX9 and a Powerbox system to allow the servos to be connected without a Y lead as well.
In all cases I will be using a battery back up through a Powerbox sensor switch, which might have to be patched in to the receiver with a Y lead as well.
Cheers
Duthie.
