Michael Dawson Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hello all,after reading a few posts I thought I'd better introduce myself.I'm a 60+ yr old liveing in west yorks area among the hills so to speak, having flown on and off for a few years with IC and Slope I thought about converting an old epp model Python wing from SAS.to electric.Not having any experience with electric flight I visited a model shop and purchased a Simplex combo unit with a Elite 2208/18 outrunner motor with a Elite ESC15 and a li-po 1000 3s1p 25c battery.As I say not having any experience of lecky flight I do I need another battery for my receiver or can I use the li-po? The esc has a connector for the receiver but doesn't that go into the throttle channel,how does the receiver get its supply?Hopeing for a simple answer that I can understand as I'm baffled Thanks for a great web site...........Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Lambert Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Welcome Michael,Yes just plug the speed controller in to the throttle Chanel, and assuming it has a battery eliminator circuit built in, it will power the receiver ( all the power supplies in the receiver are paralleled) Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash dummy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Texas made a good point here though Eric. Although most of us use Windows of some description, others do use other systems! Many people may be in a similar situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
