RC Lander F16
I have the RC Lander F16 with retracts.... really nice kit...
Couple of questions;
1. about running the retract servo wires from the belly through the air intake straight up to the cockpit bay ? or up the sides ?
2. I started to bench test the EDF unit (mine is the EDF=68-1A 4370KV) running on a 3S for test. At less than 1/2 throttle, the EDF moved forward about 1/2 inch and if I had not shut it down, I am thinking it would have kept on going forward. How should I fasten it down ? Does not seem the cover and 4 screws is enough to secure it.
What have the other F16 drivers done ?
Thanks

RE: RC Lander F16
Re: Wires
If I recall correctly I just used extensions and Y cables so that I basically have the two retract servos hooked to one SHORT Y cable and the steering servo on another extension, then I ran the two wires together along the SIDE of the air intake.
It is then important to tape the wires to provide a relatively smooth surface over which the air will flow.

I just used a metal pipe strap.
