Welcome to the jungle

Well thats the mechanism wired up. Its pretty straightforward, as long as you read the wiring diagram. Basically theres only 6 points where you put the wires in, a + and - from the battery, 2 points where you put the red power lead from the front plane servo, and 2 leads going to the microswitch for the front servo, via a 2 channel switch.

For the 2 channel switch I used a Subtec SES-3 unit. I have used lots of these in the past and have found them to be very reliable and easy to operate. As long as the electronic switch has a neutral point on the handset you are ok.

II just used the bench to test it as its obviously easyer to see whats going on before you install all the motors and wires correctly.



I cant complain it worked pretty much first time, but I did read the diagram about 4 times, just hate that smouldering PCP smell that you get, and the oh S**T when you realise another is needed.

The only thing I will add is an inline fuse, just for safety and my own piece of mind. It cant harm.
