Default RE: External Battery source for ESC Question??

Thank you for the fast response. I went with the external pack and removed the red wire as suggested by (speedy72vega)

Everything looks good so far and I think I found the reason why I had a failure. One of my servos is now dead, so thinking during flight when it went out it created a large load and caused everything to lock. I was going to make another test flight today but was to windy. So I will be giving it a shot in the morning and hopefully no wind.

I will be posting another video on YouTube on my progress. For those interested here is a link on the crash when all servos locked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5I9xO0hzI4 The video is Part 8 my latest. Will be posting Part 9 tomorrow after the flight hopefully a good one.

I been working on a Star Wars X Wing Fighter for some time and slowly getting there. Crashing each time but making progress. I just about got it working right when I had the electrical failure with my servos locking. So that was another delay on top of waiting out for the wind. I think the electrical issue is now solved and cant wait to test out again tomorrow. Thanks again for help guys!
