Default RE: Multi-engine/multi-Rx setup

Jim,
Due to the size of the plane there is no need for dual RX's... Will just cause more aggravation
and confuusion... Ail on one chnnl, flaps on one chnnl, ele on one chnnl, rudder on one chnnl,
retracts on one chnnl, and throttle on one chnnl... If you are using 8chnnl RX then you
can use two chnnls for throttles and do a mix in the TX of throttles to rudder..
HOWEVER.. Would be wise to give thought to dual switches and dual batteries...
My 'rule of thumb' of batteries is one battery / switchper every four or five servos,
depending on use and servo power draw...
As the plane you are doing is not going to require major power the use of two switches
and two 1600 mah nickle metals would more than suffice.. Batteries can be wye'd off
ANY port in the RX as RX's use same power buss thru-out.. So you could plug into the
power port with one and any other port with a wye going to battery other end going to servo..
