I'm building a Avenger using the same power set up your using. The prop info will come in handy if I ever get it done.

I am about to post some pics (after I process them) to show some of the internal components I plan on using for command and control (guidance). Lots of wires and servos in this bird!! :Whew::Cool:

[Hardway]

Using a Spektrum 20 channel Power Safe receiver and AS3X module. 4000mAh 6.6 volt LiFe batteries with EC-3 connectors in a redundant system. Hitec 5645 MG digital servos. All HD extensions with gold plated connectors. 4-40 ball links and hardware from DuBro. Custom lighting system mixed from Freewing, FMS, GT Systems, RAM, etc...
Also have a mrRCsound system coming with the B-17 sound chip and the machine gun lights for the gun turrets... Also have scale wheels and brakes. :Silly: My bank account is suing for peace... LOL

That 20 Channel is outstanding, Are you going to get the GPS for it? I have one installed and its cool to see how high, fast, and how far out you are.

[Hardway]

I have one in my big P-47 that is just sitting here, so unplugging it, and a little Velcro and rebinding, and it is in business!!!!

[JFandL]

That's going to be a real good thing to have hooked up. No more guessing.

[rifleman_btx]

That's good stuff right there

[RRHandy]

I watched the build videos when he was building it, lots of work and planning. Was fascinated. R.

[JFandL]

Ready in Sept? That's a boat load of stuff to do between now and then. I can't wait for the test flight video, she already has my heart> :Love:

[rifleman_btx]

Make it happen man! Just don't rush it out

[Hardway]

Lots to do that has nothing to do with building.... Got the software updates for 20 channel Power Safe receiver installed... So now I can program the AS3X from the DX-9 and DX-18. I had every cable necessary, except the one I needed. But Motion delivered again... Ordered a mini table saw so I can cut the 1/4 inch ply engine mounts and ESC mounts without cutting my fingers off on the giant table saw for furniture!!! LOL. That will be here Friday!!!

[Hardway]

I really appreciate all the support. Have to stay focused and on-time.... Last airshow, I worked until 0200 and then had to hit the road for a 259 mile drive at 0700... That sucked... Not happening this time... :Cool:

[rifleman_btx]

Ha! Yes I know what you mean, I totally feel you on not doing that a second time lol

[Hardway]

Just set up and tested the mrRCsound Aspire unit.... Just too cool!!! And on the fiberglass fuselage of the B-17, just one TT25 is rocking!!! I can't wait until the bass unit is back in stock... The B-17 multiengine chip is coming in tomorrow.... Like a little kid on Christmas morning.... LOL

[rifleman_btx]

Good times!

[JFandL]

Always good to play with new toy's :Cool:
