Forward planes............again

Well been introducing myself to the electronics of the Typhoon for the first time today. You get a comprehensive wireing diagram which is pretty good, easy to follow, but I still feel the instructions could have a little more detail in them. Just for daft things like, a microswitch which works in conjunction with the servo to move the front planes. But a diagram to where it goes would be helpfull . Just as well theres people to ask on here ! (thanks lads !)

Rigged up the brass work today, and it works pretty well, but still not happy about the smoothness of the planes coming in or out. But I think its going to be small adjustments all the way to get it right. Just as Ramesh and Andrew have said about theres.

But the motor and circuit board that comes is first class. Its good quality and it has been made well. And wireing it up is pretty straight forward, as long as you read the diagram carefully. But I am working carefully, and might put an inline fuse on the positive feed from the battery. Cant harm, and have burnt out a few boards before, and they get pricey. An inline fuse and holder from RS, £3.56, replacement circuits ?!?!?!?!



As you can see not a lot done, but I will be changing those crimp spade connectors for soldered ones. I hate crimps, have had lots come loose in the past. I know a lot of people use them, I just dont trust them. The last thing I need is a trip in cold water in Tynemouth lake to get the bloody thing back !
