If I use a 4.8v battery with a servo in the throttle channel, it works fine. I’ve emailed Mike at Kontronics for a copy of the instructions so maybe that will help. I’m still looking for responses, thanks. gv

[RCSE] Electric motor and speed control help
Title: Electric motor and speed control help I purchased a used Aveox 12LMR with a Kontronics 3SL 70-6-18 ESC pre-wired from someone on this list. To that I've added a Medusa battery eliminator. I was told the motor and esc have only been used a couple of times and I feel confident the units are serviceable. I'm using 10 1700mah Nicads with an Airtronic RD8000 and 777 receiver. I've plugged the BEC into the battery slot, the ESC plug into the throttle channel. The servos work but I get nothing out of the motor or ESC. The motor has 5 pin female plug coming out of it which I'm pretty sure is for sensors, but this is a sensorless control so nothing is hooked up to it. Any ideas why my throttle doesn't work? Please contact me direct as I need to get this unit, or another going pretty quickly. Thanks. gv

Re: [RCSE] Re: Can one use a copper wire for an antenna
Don't forget to keep the total antenna length about the same as the original receiver antenna length, don't loop back surplus wire (just zig/zag it in the wing if its too long) and be careful of any connector you put in the antenna lead -- unlike other connections you'll never notice a poor contact, or even a disconnection, until too late (reduced range). You can use thin insulated wire, stuff like one strand of a servo cable, and stranded is preferred over single core because its less likely to break (its also a bit better electrically but you'd probably notice -- a break OTOH won't show up at all except as reduced radio range).

RE: [RCSE] Problems with GE Silicone II
There is a silicone made specifically for electrical components. Unfortunately, it's hard to find and expensive for a small amount. RS used to carry it but no longer does. If the silicone has an acidic smell, i.e. it smells like vinegar, it will cause corrosion in electrical applications. I'd guess that's what happened to your servo. The electrical grade silicone doesn't smell like vinegar. Like Jeff mentions, it's going to be tough to remove it from the surface. I recommend epoxy-ing the servos to a piece of balsa and then epoxy the balsa to the fuselage. That way you have a release film. Some people wrap the servo in masking tape and then epoxy the servo in place. I've done that too in certain situations. gv -Original Message- From: Jeff Steifel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 12:18 PM To: Robert Samuels Cc: soaring@airage.com Subject: Re: [RCSE] Problems with GE Silicone II I think it is a big mistake using silicone...

Re: [RCSE] Problems with GE Silicone II
I think it is a big mistake using silicone. One there is no way to decontaminate it short of sanding to the layer past it. But as you sand it pushes it down so you have to change paper frequently and vacuum it out. Two ... it doesn't get along with electrical components. Three the cure is too slow and any repair will require a repair with silicone. Four there are better products. Epoxy, if you need flexibility there is hot glue or PFM like glues.

No idea why it didn't cure. But, when the silicon dies cure it emits an acid as part of the process. These acid fumes eat away copper.

[RCSE] Re: Can one use a copper wire for an antenna
If you can't, then I've been a very lucky free flighter all these years. I've used a number of different kinds of wire. Adminttedly the one with the thinnest, about 15" of lizst(sp?) wire and some gadgety base load, has only been flown to 1/4 mile downwind. It was an indoor model, the day was too windy, but I managed to get it to come down on the other side of the school building. Just range check. Also, you may want to set up a system, mechanical or behavioral, so you never launch without connecting that antenna. I've also used thin copper tape as external servo wiring, tho I had to use capacitors out near the servos. The thin copper tape might make a nice antenna as well.
