CAP232 Breitling

Phil, a big no no on threading carbon rod,if any thing get some 3mm threaded stainless rod and some carbon tube to stiffen the rod and use this with your ball links,and you are bits missing with the tail wheel.
Keep up the good work in your luxury work shop

Here is the link to the Hangar 9 CAP232G review dated 2007. Mine is identical except for the livery so may be a limited or later edtion Here is the link. CAP232G

Got my wife to rumage in the modelling bits-n-bobs drawers in the garage and found me some 3mm rods. I'll make up my own control rods instead. Tailwheel Assy? I'll speak to Andrew for missing bit.

Aileron Control Rods made up and connected. Although, this is where the servo position and orientation of the H9 version is slightly different with regards to my model. Taken me most of the day to complete this, but Hey! I am not going anywhere soon. Better Half has been good as gold fetching parts, tools,etc.

Tomorrow maybe start making rods for elevators and set these up with the radio. May have to make up some battery trays too, because in the H9 version it uses the rudder servo tray for radio and one RX battery (NiMh :lol: What?) The H9 version then uses the direct link system to rudder utilising the pre-cut servo hole at rear of fuselage. Definitely don't want to add more weight to tail end!

Each servo will be on it's own channel, so assume standard gauge (26SWG) 500mm servo extensions be adequate for wing and elevators or use heavy duty (22SWG)? Servos are high voltage digitals, spec is 7.4v / 3amp lock-stall.

Using twin lipos into AR9110 powerbus RX then on into servos. eliminating the need for regulators. Have gone for this dual master switch with fuel dot.

Comments / Reviews?

Sorry to ask so many questions but this is my first foray into large scale stuff... :blink:

Definately go HD servo leads Phil, with long leads and HV presumably powerful servos, not worth skimping.

Don't the Powersafe receivers come with a 'fail to on' soft switch? Wouldn't subsitute it with something else if it were me

Will go with HD leads then, I wasn't trying to skimp, it was just that I have dozens of standard JR's

With regard to the AR9110 Powersafe Rx. It has two battery inputs to the powerbus, the soft switch diverts power if a circuit fails. Or that is how I read it. I am following Dave B's set-up on his new bird where eveything is kept simple, HV servos, etc.

The dual main switch pictured is just isolate the batteries when not in use. Wolverine switches seem to be like "rocking horse poo".

I'll use an 8 amp SBEC to power the ignition circuitry from another Lipo.

I tried one of those miracle switches Phil when I first setup my SBACH with the AR9000. It didn't work in place of the spektrum switch that the RX came with.
I'm just using the switch supplied with the RX in the Sukhoi.

As the guy's have said,just keep to the soft switch no need for anything else keep it simple Phil KIS

What soft switch? I could not find one in my RX package. I've been done! As an after thought I went out to the recycle bin (they are due today) and retrieved the carton. In the lower box (which I thought was a spacer) was a little packet with Switch and EC3 bits. That WAS lucky! :whistle: So, to keep it Simples, I'll maybe just mount the little switch on the fuselage or juggle the plug pins config - See below.

Dave, your normal switch not working? I have come across this issue before with the Pin-n- Flag switches I use for my fail-safe regulators. Gryphon switches use signal and negative for soft switching, so do DualSky on their 8amp Pro regulator whereas the DualSky 5amp uses positive and negative pins. It's just a matter of swapping the pins around in the plug. When switch is open its ON and switch closed its OFF.

Anyways, many many thanks for mentioning switch supplied Dave. Saved the day.. :kiss:

Thought it was me Phil, Mr Bright always gets all the credit ...........

Lucky you posted on it when you did Phil and not after the rubbish men had been!!
