Batteries, Wiring, Switches - 08/30/2001

MVC-356F.JPG (65878 bytes) This picture shows the completed setup.  The two SR 2000mah batteries are on the left.  Each JR 549X receiver is on each side of the rudder servos.  The EMS Jomar servo reverser is at the top left (yellow).  NOTE:  On 8/31/2001 I removed the servo reverser and used the programming mix mode to reverse the servo.
MVC-357F.JPG (57292 bytes) This picture shows the Harris smoke pump.  If you haven't tried these you really should.  They are made from surgical pumps and will spit smoke oil like nobody's business!  The pump is hooked to the gear switch.  Right behind the wing tube are the leads for the aileron servos.
MVC-363F.JPG (66758 bytes) Another view of the batteries, wiring, receivers, switches, antenna tubes, etc.  I used super velcro to secure the receivers.  If you haven't tried it you should - holds stuff great.
MVC-358F.JPG (55372 bytes) A view of the elevator servo leads.  The wires were twisted using a hand drill.  The antenna tubes are made from large soda straws taped together.  I think they are from Arby's.......!
MVC-361F.JPG (64342 bytes) Another view of the servo leads at the horizontal stab exit point.  I use foam all around to prevent chafing.  I taped the ends of the antennas to keep them from sliding back down the tubes.  If I ever need to pull them out I just pull the tubes out since they are very flexible.
