HI John by the unit do you mean all this R/C an BEC ESC an FAIL SAFE an MOTORS stuff ? an if yes then no no news yet as im toooooooooooo scared lol to have a go myself so im chickening out in case it all goes up in smoke as there is a lot of money's worth thereAny news of the unit Chris ?
HI Andrew there is no shame in not understanding this system as its complicatiated an im not to clever at it myself hence richard comin over to have a look an hopefully we will get it all goin but with a system like this can anybody be 100% sure ?Chris
Yet again more amazing work that to my shame I don't understand......

HI Neil many thanks for he crossed fingers an today when my mate richard came we got stuck into it an after a few heart stoppin moments things dint work but this was due to bad connections as my mate just wrapped wires around one onother an i said let me solder the wires an he said ok as this was just a jury rigged wireing layout an a test but then when we switched it all on every thing worked lovelyI will have my fingers crossed for you at 2pm Chris
YEA John im VERY HAPPY that all that money's worth all worked ok an as you say (PHEW)Phew, thank goodness for that Chris.
HI Rick cheers for the congrats but all i did was all the donkey work of makeing up all the wireing harness's for the units but the congrats really should go to my mate Richard as he worked out how to program the R/C binding to the R/X as it was not bound but he did it an also to program the 2 main ESC's for the 4 X motors an also to get the small ESC goin to power the bow thruster.Congrats on a big success........I know you were sweating this a bit but looks like all the hard work and blue air paid off.
Tomorrow is another day. Rick H.
HI Ian nice to see you on this thread an YES it is as ive had that R/C for about 3months an the three ESC 's for two months an i just needed my mate richard to come over to give me his exspertise know how to program these units i might have been able to do this myself but i must admit i just dint have the confidence in myself to do it as there is about £300 quid's worth in these units an i dint want to damage anything just by not waiting a few days till richard could fit me in as he has been busy himself but now every thing is hunky dory AN all ready to go an i have dremt up how to make two of the motors switch of by R/C an then switch back on again whilst having the other two motors running an this is simple idea from me but first must try it before i strip everything down an thanks for having a look see chrisHi Chris, I've just caught up again. Some fantastic work and I'm so glad for you that the system works. I bet that's an heavy weight off your shoulders.
HI Tony yea eletric's all now sorted an i went up to my model room an tried out my idea of how i can make it for 2 motors can be turned off by R/C an still have two motors running as on the ESC there is a simple on off switch for the ESC all ive got do is cut off this switch an solder on a knock on switch in place an then fit a servo fitted with an arm that when i flick the step switchHi Chris, really pleased all was sorted with the electrics and electronics. Watching the future progress with interest.
As we previously discussed, I'm still a lover of the old 40mhz system, solid reliable robust and we have been forced down the route of this 2.4ghz which works ok, just not the same.

HI Neil thanks this eletronics is awesome stuff if you dont know what you are doing like i was a couple of days ago i was shivering in me boots at the thought of wirein all this up i knew the basics but on how to do the set up programin well that got me but thankfully my mate richard didWow that's a great relief!
This is awesome stuff, Chris, I couldn't even begin to contemplate anything like it.
Much respect, sir!
