Hi Tassos,



Thanks, if there is one thing that I have learnt in my career in aviation is that you should never assume you know best! The day you think you know it all is the day that you end up as smoking hole in the ground and I’ve always taken this philosophy forward into my RC businesses as well. It’s one of the reasons it’s good to share these builds as we get input like this. I hadn’t realised JC recommend only 3S on their new 300Pro.





The electrics in the forward section are run through 3D printed conduits that feed into the main box where the CB400 is mounted. There is another box on the bottom about 25mm deep that allows any excess wire to sit in, the bottom is capped with 2mm acrylic.

I ran all the appropriate cables to the fuselage split ready to test each one individually, as mentioned earlier these are plugged in and the excess wire moves into the housing as the fuselage halves come together.

Everything was connected up and tested for the first time with all 24 channels needed. We have a second transmitter that controls the pilots head, canopy actuation and locking so it has 30 channels in total.
