    Your exactly right, I justed to make sure it was clear so others reading this wouldn't get the wrong message

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    be careful here , any transmission noise cannot be protected by fiber optics, the receiver antena will pick it up, but on the other hand, 2.4 is very good for this. What it does, is it will isolate the receiver from any electrical feed back , will give you more voltage on the servo signal...

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    there are two boards, one for the receiver connection to the encoders and failsafe switches for two receiver batteries, the other board is for the power to the decoder/servos again with failsafe switches to two batteries you can see the single orange wire from the board, this goes to the the...

    You mean like this .. also it has dual servo battery input and 3 failsafe electronic switches

    exactly, the pretection in all respect, any servos goes belly up, not to worry it can't feed back to the receiver

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    The red line from the receiver has the signal and power from the receiver to the encoder since it has to have power, Other wise you are correct, no path for any RF to enter

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    No the servos and receiver do not have common ground the connection from the receiver to the decoder/servos is a plastic fiber optic cable , no wires whatsoever To power the decoder/servos, you have the servo battery the large one. So the only thing as I said between decoder/servo and...

    That's exactly how I am doing it , great we are on the same page

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    no apologies please , the more questions you ask the more other people will benefit. The receiver is sending the signal only to the servos not the power , the power out of the receiver stops at the encoder, , the decoders will have there power from the larger batteries, , the number of battery...

    On the image I drew up in corel draw, things might look a bit cluttered, in proper installation, its a different story. Stangflyer you can see how I would do it for power redundancy. WMcNabb, now you are able to see better where the receiver and servos are powered by different batteries

    no Y's one channel for each servos . so for instance, 6 channels for ailerons, 1 for rudder if one servo is used, 2 for elevators if two servos used and 1 for throttle. Assuming this is what you have, then 10 channels , 10 fiber optic servos extensions. one smallish battery for the receiver...

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    My apologies for not explaining this part properly and a very good question. You need one encoder and one decoder for each channel, but in the case of 3 servos per aileron , you can either use 3 encoder/decoder which is 3 channels or simply Y connect which is not my recommendation. So look...

    Forgot to mention the fiber optic cable are the plastic type, very rugged and you can basically pinch it tight and it still works, The glass type which will transmit for longer distances, are also brittle, not good for this
