RE: [RCSE] Sagitta 900

2006-06-23 Thread Bill Warren
The original Sagitta 900 instructions recommend that the rudder should deflect 1 1/2 each way and the stab should have a total throw of 3/4 measured at the leading edge. The center of gravity is recommended to be 3 5/8 back from the leading edge, and not more than 3 3/4 from the leading edge.

I just wonder about running a BEC on a high amp setup, especially something on more than 7 cells. My (limited) understanding of the BEC tells me that you're really leaving yourself with very little in the cells when the BEC finally shuts off the motor. I'm not familiar with the BEC you're using

With the help of Mike Franz at Kontronics, I figured out the problem. Mike sent me an email with the instructions and after reading them, I still had nothing...until I realized that this unit requires a separate battery, i.e. it didn't have a BEC circuit! Long story short, I connected the
