Default Hello

Hello to all

I have just come back on to the flying scene after a 2 yr break. I have been given an Accipter Badius, 4 channel kit, the problem was no rc control, this has been sorted ( short cct servo). Can anyone tell me what the compatability of the servos are , I fly Sanwa/Airtronics and i dont wish to use my Tx/Rx and blow them. Also has anyone upgraded this unit to take a brushless motor, if so any piccies or hints please as the motor in this, well i dont think it will get off the floor.

Many Thanks

Gash

What Airtronics radio do you intend to fly with? Is it an older version or the Z servo version? (blue connectors)

CGrBright and early this morning. Just had breakfast Hummmm good garwonteened. Headed to the LHS 2 hrs away. Need some more covering for the Big Bingo. Got a buy on ebay for some Coverite 21st century fabric NIP4 rolls 21.75. I like coverite. Doing my 1/4 scale Cub with the gasser in it with coverite. Trying to make it look like Hazel Sig's Cub. My new Airtronics TX seems easy to program.. Put that on my Big Bingo. Now if will just fly by itself I will be in good hands with all-state. Still very cold14* but no WIND!!!!

Is this the model?

Are the servos normal looking, three wire, servos? If yes, they 'should' work with an Airtronics receiver.

Airtronics Z connectors are wired as black, red, blue. blue is the signal wire
Futaba is black, red, white. white is signal
Hitec is black, red, yellow. yellow is signal
JR is brown, red, orange. orabnge is signal

Compare the servo plugs and wires to some that you know work with your existing equipment. If the wires are in the wrong order in the connector you should be able to switch them around.

Thanks for the replies,

It is the model listed Carrellh, the tx i use is a Sanwa Infinity 660 35Mhz, obviously my servos are full size 102's as I fly a Morley Maverick XR Heli (well try to lol) , so i was unsure about the micro servos in this plane. The ESC looks rather wierd as well as the plane only uses the single battery to power the motor and the rx, will this cause a problem with my 6 channel sanwa rx.

Regards

Gash
