Changing a 2ch radio to use for 1/2 A plane
I posted this on the radio forum, but with no answers yet. I thought someone here may have changed an electric power plane radio over to gas power. So here is what I have....
I have a two channel (two stick)radio that came with a Megatech skyvector electric plane. The micro receiver has connections for three servos plus the electronic motor control/battery connection. I have found that the left stick will operate one servo as an elevator, and the right stick as rudder(as usual). It will operate a Futaba servo. I plan to put this in a 1/2A plane with no throttle.
Here is my question........Can I unplug the electronic speed control/battery connection and just plug in a standard switch harness to connect to a battery?? The harness will plug right in.
Or, do I need to leave the speed control alone and have it just for a battery power connection. It has no on/off switch.
I would like to plug in a switch harness and see what happens but I don't want to ruin my receiver if this is not correct.
Thanks for your help guys!!
