Default RE: Cessna L19 Bird Dog

Radio Tray
This is looking good, got some of the electronics installed...



I'm running a separate SBEC just in case the ESC goes up in smoke. In theory that'll keep the servos working while I get her back on the ground. I also have a capacitor in the loop. Those help stabilize the voltage to the receiver & thus protect against the dreaded brown-out-o-doom...



Battery Tray (continued)
Trying out different Velcro tie-downs, not sure I like these...



I have another set with a proper buckle that you can pull against to really tighten down the pack. I much prefer those but they're too short, might have to make something custom.

Anyway with the radio in, she's officially an RC airplane. Woohoo...
