To do this look at the wing root where the white "ribbon" cable attaches. Unscrew the two screws holding the connector to the wing. On the back side you have the servo and light connections, what they are is printed on the connection board. To bypass you can un hook them and add extensions and Y's directly to your receiver. Do not connect the lights to a regular receiver port as they run on 3V and doing so will pop the LED. You'll need a MCBe or a light module to run the lights. I use one of these...

He’s saying Y the two flaps and separately Y the two ailerons.
Dave it’s done for you through the wing interconnection wires in the MCBe, the blue box.

Yes! SMC 6200 40c. I have three of them, and will buy more when available again.
Like you said, great battery. You all might think I’m crazy, but I can see/feel a difference when I fly the SMC 6200 back to back with the Admiral 6000. Great power the whole flight.

Been there way too many times.... I can change a retract faster than Nascar can have a pit stop. My problem is I always do the controlled crash landings and the retracts don't like it Side note though, check out RC Informer upgrade for the front gear it might help next time. And yes there will be a next time. All part of flying they tell me.....

Flys like it's on rails would show more but hit a tree on approach. The main warning... the extra weight can cause surprising stalls if airspeed gets too low.

Wow, that must be a rocket ship on 10S! Would like to see some photos of your battery bay mods and how you fit the batteries in. What batteries are you using and what CG are you flying at? For my last flights my CG was at 105 mm (from the 88 mm recommended) and for me it was still too nose heavy, so next time out going to 110 mm or more. What fan are you using? Guess I'm just like the "little old lady from Pasadena" with a 6S setup! Number 2 is on the way from MRC (with a Mig 29 for company ) but whimped out and just got the 6S 12 blade inrunner.3 Photos

i would love to have some useful comment about this but I almost crashed my10s setup because it was tail heavy. Minor repairs made will be out tomorrow working out the bugs. I cut my canopy back to the bulkhead put bluebox, receiver and gyro under battery. lots of room down there and one battery back to bulkhead.

Already have the AB's and removed the circuit board to jam the battery as far back as possible. Oh well, the 6S 12 blade inrunner does perform incredibly well, almost 5 minutes of flight time and no need to invest in more batteries, so #2 may just end up like #1. At least I won't "love one more than the other", at least that what I tell my kids.
