Works perfectly.
The power consumption of this model was evaluated earlier using a Weatronics Gizmo receiver which measures current. No guess work there.
The value was less than 3 amps, WAY below the safe levels of the PBR 9 receiver and Sensor.
My Core will soon be installed, using 26 ch rx Mercury with 18 servos 4( from gear programmer) in. a 1/4 scale Sea Fury with Moki 250.
I have every confidence it will be a perfect installation.
Thanks for your reply David.
Since this morning I'm in front of the Powerbox product page trying to figure out which receivers/box I need and it is quite frustrating to spend that time for simple applications ...
I have 2 planes to move from a CBOX 200 to whatever the Core can offer with the same level of realiability.
One is the small F18 from Skymaster, it's 2.3 meter long with a K160 in it and 9 servos.
And the other one is an Extreme Flight MXS in 94 inches with 5 servos.
I know that the PBR-9D is a dual receivers unit but you really think it will be safe enough to fly it in a 2.3m jet and big 3d planes ?
So to sum up, PowerBox Sensor -> PBR-9D ?
Looks pretty light to me ?
