What electrical/switch setup do you use?

[Lojik]

Hi all,

Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone has in their models to run the servos and power requirements for their aircraft, if you could post here with the below details and I’ll try to compile the results into a nice table below

• Model Flight Setup: (IMAC/3D/Freestyle/Casual Etc)
• Model Size: (35,50,100cc or Wingspan in inches or Scale in %)
• Number of Servos:
• Number of Matched Servos:
• Petrol or Elec:
• Battery Packs used to power servos:
• Switches used to power on:
• Safety devices or redundancy devices used:
• Electronic Devices used to regulate power: (BEC, inteliswitches etc)
• Electronic Devices used to separate power: (Powerbox’s, powerboards, Powerbus Etc)
• Any Additional items used to run your power system:

How's that power box working out in it? Pretty cool that it gives you the read out so you see what's going on

[MENTION=887]Feral[/MENTION] post your setup bro

 

[Feral]

My setup is basic as

Extra 260 QBL

5 servos running off a 2100mah life with no switches to a AR8000 rx

8s lipo main packs running Gyro's old Motrolfly.

Basic setup not much to fail
