Anyone using Comp-ARF Power Box??
 
Hello Everyone,

I am considering buying a Composite-ARF Power Box 40/24 and the on/off harness set up. It seems that it can only work with 6 channels?? So on a larger more complex jet that uses more than 6 channels what do you do. What are the likes and dislikes of this unit?? your comments are most appreciated.

Thanks

The latest PB 40/24 is actually 7 input/output channels now, with the seven output split 3-3-4-4-4-3-3, for 24 servos used!
The system isolates the Rx from load, so you should always run at least one servo/device directly through the Rx. All Rx's are tuned with some load from servos.
The idea is you run the seven highest load control set ups through the PB and the remaining three channels through the Rx.
Look at www.powerbox-systems.com for a full English set of notes.
They are the finest devices you can use!

Dave,
Are you using one in your Lightning?

those are the same as dura lite . The nice feature is the programmer where you cancel the match box. I would use it if I have a complicated set up.

For simple setup you might use Emotec from DA

This is very popular in Germany.

Yes, I have a 40/24 Professional in the Lightning with two 3700 NiMH Graupner packs
