Man this is a plane I would truly love to have

There is a port on the main board for the retract controller box only cause it has that higher voltage

I have been working on the B-26.... I hope we can get this sorted out! I am almost going to be forced to paint it in the SEA camo... The grey is nice, but a SPAD just has to have the jungle camo!!! :Cool:

Dang right! That's how the spad should be!

Yes, you MUST use the gear control box. It is getting it's 7.2vdc from the main box distribution. If memory serves me right there are a couple points on the main box for led connections.
Help is only as far away as a good photo of your connections. ;)

Got the same plane as you and ran into the same problem. They will not tolerate over voltage at all. I am really not sure if its even supposed to be 7.2. I ended up going with a 2s life pack for it. I have had the control burn out twice now. I am certain it cant handle the extra 1.2 volts. I would bet that if you had the stock esc for it, that the voltage would be regulated to 6 volts for the control board. Needless to say I have not been flying it much. I got a voltage regulator laying around somewhere i have been intending to put in it, or if I could find the stock esc i might go that route. Ok edit this. Just found the esc for that plane on dragon hobby. Specs says its 5v

Thank you!!! I have a Gekco 85 amp and it is set factory at 5 volts, so that may work well... I appreciate all the help from my R/C Brothers!!! :Cool:
