Default RE: F-100 "Build" thread

The connections on the Weatronics RX are filling up... Actually, all 20 of the servo connections on this RX will be used - eliminating the need for gang of Matchboxes normally used on this model...

You can also see the AutoChute unit in this photo. It needs to be connected to the wheel brake and flaps channels. It also has a rotation sensor that goes out to one of the wheels and of course, is connected to the drag chute deployment servo (and optionally, the drag chute release servo). When the flaps are down, the wheels are turning, and the brakes are applied, the chute is deployed. When the wheels stop, the chute is released (if it has a release servo)...
