I read the first two thirds of this thread @AKNick and am impressed with your simple but elegant radio install. I' new to the forum here and have had a lot of experience with 40% scale aerobatic planes but, that was 20 years ago and there were only a few 2.4 gig radios ... yes that long ago. I'm 74 now and am getting back into the hobby here in the Philippines, ( almost like being in Alaska as far as getting parts). I was drooling over this plane but there was no way to get one here for less than 1,000 bucks. Until I tripped on a local hobby shop that has one in stock and the price is right. So now facing the set up, wonder if you could tell me about your dual battery set up? are you using a dual battery gizmo, and or a BEC and forgoing an ignition battery? aside from that would love to know where you sourced the braided servo wire sheaths and 20 gauge wire, connectors etc. thanks for a super build thread! I already planned on using the multiplex wing connectors but will attempt to engineer them into a plug and play solution.
Welcome to GSN! I’m sure getting parts is easier here than there!!! I used 72MHz for years!
