Ribbon cable signal wires

There are multiple ways to hook up the electronics from stock to multiple mods. I wanted to have every flight control on a separate channel for adjustment and mixing. I use a 12 channel Jeti Assist receiver with internal gyro. However I still wanted to use the ribbon cable plugs to the wings to make it easy to attach the wings. And I wanted to bypass the blue box for elevator control and power since it had been flagged as a possible problem. To accomplish this I split off the signal wires from the ribbon cable for flaps and ailerons and main gear doors. The signals come through individual channels but the wing servo and lights power comes from the blue box. In additon I wanted to use the Double Stage Door seequencer but there was only one outlet so I needed a Y for the gear door signal wires.


The signal for flaps and ailerons come from the receiver and power from the blue box. The rudders and stabs plug directly into the receiver for both signal and power.


The result was 3 signal wires on each ribbon cable were separate


The Y harness operated the main gear doors since there was only one outlet on the blue box for the double stage door controller.
