Scale 50% Dalotel 165

Here are some photos of the project. Wife calls it Big bird

beautiful , but I'm sure you can use less servos for this, since this is not a 3D airplane, keep up the good work

Thank you for the complement,
I have been working on this project for a year so far. I took a look at the blue bird servos. I think you are right about using one, this way I can use the scale cable set up for the control services.

Remember what I told you about Sbus. it can't handle any loads so you do have to use a system to seperate the receiver battery and the servo battery,

Thank you for the information. On all for my large projects, I separate the signal and power wiring . I like to run 18 or 20 gauge wiring for the power and 22-24 for the signal. I make all of my wiring harness. I am a electrical controls engineer, so my projects normally look like wining nite mare to most people.

that's great, another thing you might want to consider on large airplanes the seperation of both batteries , you still have the negative wire connected together, which means a bad servo can still feed back to the rx and cause a failsafe on the rx, what I do for this is use fiber optic servo extensions not only you could go 200 feet from the rx but no feed back can ever come from a servo to the rx, just a thought

Good thought. I like the idea of fiber, failsafe on rx not good, lucky never had a feed back but it can happen , I use fiber optic it all the time in my work control systems. What extensions and set up are you using. Very interested in then.

I designed my own system years ago and improved upon it ever since, and have never ever had a failure as such, crashing is something if you get my drift ,
