RE: AVIA by Topmodel
The Avia is due in tomorrow and I am planning the servo wiring. I am going to wire all servos to their own channel so I can program any mix I want. What wire gage do I need for the aileron servos ? My servos are not high drain so I am thinking 24 gage. The flaps runs are shorter but the current is higher so 24 ga again. Since the connectors don't fit thru the tubes I am not clear yet on how to do it. I'd like to run the 4 extensions direct to the receiver and not use the multiplex connectors. I would take an extension, remove the socket pins, cut and splice it onto the servo, fish it thru and re-assemble the connector that plugs into the receiver.If a servo fails it means reversing the process etc.
ps My buddy is probably going to use your idea to prevent wing shift, we agree there is not enough strength for his pins. I am still trying to convince him he can't use a Y cord on the elevons so we are on a learning curve here.
[MUCH LATER THAT SAME EVENING] I ran into radio programming issues and decided to use Y connectors and reverse mount one flap servo. I got twisted 26 ga "litewire" from Servowires.com. Had to order 4 Hextronix HXT 900 from HK, that was $15 with shipping. yawn......<br type="_moz" />
