Cool if you have photos of the light setup I'm interested in your application. What's the power required for the Unilight system? 7.4 or 11.1v.
My smoke pump isn't always used so not concerned about the power draw, but I do separate gear power from radio power.
A couple more grams for batteries doesn't make a difference in weight.

Yes, its the Unilight system.. I bought the Pro combo for the rebel pro directly from Unilight.
thinking of using 2 batteries for cb and retracts, 1 for the turbine and 1 small for the lights
I would do 2x Li-ion 5200 mAh for the RX share for the Gear (and smoke), one 3800 for the motor and one of your Small Li-ion 2600 for the Lights…..

The gear draw less the 2 amps……smoke about 1.7 for the PowerBox smoke pump…..the only draw that is much longer is the lights…so I always do a specific battery for them….

Well! I got the maiden out of the way. My first turbine build and my first BIG jet all wrapped up in one. As soon as it left the runway I could tell it was going to be an enjoyable maiden and not the nightmare that creeps into your mind beforehand, even though you "know" it will go well.

I went with the Swiwin sw220B. Should be a good one.

I went with a 240 and has lots of power, the 220 is more reliable than the 240 which has had some teething issues

THANKS very much Rommel. We really appreciate you spending the time in doing the video, editing and posting it for viewing. We have placed it also on the Jet Aerobatics website & on the Book of Faces. Thanks also Scott.... There will be a bunch of guys that have been practicing also, so I will stay focused on what needs to be done & remember what you told me!

Hi guys.

My Repel Pro is expected to arrive next month and I am buying the different part I will need.
What length servo arms are you using for the flying surfaces? 1"; 1.25" or 1.5".
Thanks in advance for you answer.

Well…The Rebel Pro lived up to its name and brought me home with the first place in the Silver class at the just concluded F3S Jet Aerobatics Nationals. We all had such a great time in Mountain City, TN. You guys should seriously consider attending next year and commit to it. You won’t regret it, as it’s a laid back event with all the facilities right there.
