SAB Avio Lizard
#35
I ordered mine. Hopefully HeliDirect/SABAvio USA will get them in the next week or so, and then on to me. The accessories such as thrust vectoring and turbine conversion are not yet available for order on their website.

Hello,
I just test flew my Drake last week.
The airframe is great but the retract units from SAB have very poor instructions.
I wasn't able to get the gear doors to operate thru the SAB Unit although there is a provision
Also while the retracts worked perfectly on the ground, It refused to work in the air after take off
So test flight was with Gear down and doors open.
Has anybody a better understanding of the SAB retracts ? Is there some setting to maybe increase the stalling current to the retract motors ?
Any ideas what it should be ?
Regards
Nandan

You running the controller on 2s 8.4v?
All the SAB retracts I have been involved with only worked if the model speed was kept down and no hard G when trying to retract, they trip out.
Brakes are worse than retracts 🙂

Questions on the SAB retracts for Lizzard
Working on the Lizzard and the Retracts have me puzzled a bit. I have five wires that have the connectors on them that plug into the retracts and the brakes and they have bare wires on the end. In the retract kit there is one JST style connector with bare wire at one end. To make it short and sweet, How am I supposed to connect them to the control unit and how do I power it up. Do I plug the power cable into a empty port on my Receiver and the 2 cell lipo powers the servos and the controller together? Anyone have this working that could help with some pictures etc? I think I need to put JST connectors on the bare ends, not sure though.
Thanks,
Matthew

Now that I'm home from work I had a chance to verify the gear connections. You do need two-pin Dupont connectors to fit into the gear controller as shown in these pictures.
