Thank you

Hiya Jim - great to hear from you, will deffo get a meet up arranged ?

Hi Ken, good to “see” you are still around my friend. Will have to drop in again on you guys when life / travelling etc gets back to more normal ?? Take care

As a “lapsed” long time and early founding member of the RCME forum, I am saddened to have just stumbled upon the sad news that my old flying friend and general lovely rascal Phil Wood has passed away. ? RIP my friend

Well done Pete on being so quick on the build, first on the build, and doing a maiden in 60 mph wind on the big rock!  I did venture outside my office and look over, but even at 1.5 plan size didn’t spot ya 😀. Look forward to getting going on mine sometime👏👏 Edited By Tim Mackey on 03/01/2020 05:11:23

I’m not proposing that you use a nimh pack in your glider - just use it to prove / disprove the the functionality of the BEC. A servo has a voltage critical circuit within it - it’s not comparable to a simple dc brushed motor in a slot car Yes the BEC usually is a regulated 5v

Incidentally most receivers are happy on high voltages 6v + but it’s the SERVOS that in many cases will not be happy - unless specified otherwise your common or garden servo is only rated at 6v and fully charged LiPo is 7v+

If that does prove to work correctly, then it would suggest, or confirm that the voltage output from the ESC BEC is duff. Try this link to a U Tube tutorial” that I did years ago 😉 **LINK**

Nice work so far Martin 👍🏻 PS: Anyone thinking of this one, I assure you she flew a treat when I had five minutes on the sticks at the Lleyn.

Yes Tony - I have used the same make fan ( also got mine from bangood ) but 70mm in my Windrider Bede. Cracking unit for very little money, pretty sure Jeremy has this one in the Mig.

Couldn’t see an embed / resize option on the U Tube “Share” button ? Perhaps the forum system has improved since I last used it - or is it the IPhone limitation etc? Seems to work ok for me, but apologies if I’ve screwed the thread up 🤷🏼‍♂️
