Servos Locked Up

[Bushwacker]

Thats a good idea Mike. What about a power box or something like that? Something I can plug everything into and will give me clean regulated power to all servos plus the RX, is there something like that out there?

I have one Bush, delivers 5 volts to the receiver while adjustable from 5 to 9.6 to the servos

You have one what bud, one of those things Mike just posted or one of the things Im talking about?

 

[Bipenut53]

One of what you were talking about

Or since you're using 5245's, just use a 6.6v LiFe battery to your receiver. I probably wouldn't rely on an integrated BEC in an airplane that size anyways..

Why is that Xpress. You don't trust them bud? I kind of agree with you. I have never had an issue with an integrated BEC before, but since this issue with Airboss which is supposed to be bullet proof has happen I am a bit apprehensive now. Im not really a fan of adding more batteries for the BEC to run servos, just adds more weight. On my Heli's I just tie the BEC into the main power and use a scorpion backup guard. That has always been a solid and reliable setup for me for years and I really don't notice any drop in flight times.

It's just another option, plus a small LiFe battery won't weigh much. You could also use like a Castle 10 amp BEC to power the servos. Just removes the additional load from the ESC and gives you a lot more power for the servos.

[MENTION=3728]Bushwacker[/MENTION] whats the update on your situation? I have read some good ideas/advice so far, any results? the plane flying yet?

 

[Bushwacker]

Sorry man no updates yet. Servos are probably just getting to they'er destination.

Looks like they might've showed up on Friday, I didn't get to them until yesterday though, but they're checked into the repair queue and awaiting a technicians skilled hands
