RE: Kadet Senior - Taildragger Conversion -Mains
Guys,
I hate to muddy the water on this issue but here goes. I called Sulliivan today and got an answer directly opposite of what Todd has stated. Sullivan tech support claims the new version of their product has the white wire on it, yep this from sullivan tech support. Also, the power lead from the glow driver is a pair of red & white 16 gauge wires which uses a micro deans connector. Sullivan tech support insists I must use (16 gauge wire) when connecting the battery to the unit which I understand due to the issue of matching conductors etc. etc. However, what I find crazy is that the product literature on sullivans web site shows a yellow wire output to the glow plug and battery connections which resemble typical servo wire leads which I would prefer over the micro deans connected unit. Furthermore, all of the installed units I have heard about on here mention nothing of the micro deans connection or 16 gauge wires. Which leads me to believe that Todd is right when he says the newer updated unit has the yellow wire lead and the servo like battery connections.
i have tried powering the unit up with a fully charged 4.8v 1200 maH battery with no sucess, I think my unit has issues other than just the battery and am going to replace it with a new unit at the very least. However, I have queried several hobby shops and web dealers and guess what, yep they only have in stock the units with the white wire and the micro deans connectors. Now what?
