I am building my Roban 800 size Airwolf...
I am struggling with getting all the gear to set up the mechanics..
I just ordered a scorpion 560 motor from motion rc. So I think I am set on the motor.
my big questions come with power setup..
I ordered the recommended servos.. MKS 1220 for swash. And MKS 980 for tail pitch. The directions recommend metal servo arms.. Does anyone make metal servo arms for MKS servos?
The 1220 servos are rated for 6.6 volts and the 980 is rated for 7.2 volts.. I have heard that the retracts are only good for 6 volts... not sure about voltage for the light controller?
I am thinking I should run a separate battery for the Rx and the 12s set up only for the motor? Is that common in these large helis or am I overthinking it?
I would love a 2s lipo but hate to run two regulators (1 for gear and 1 for swash servos)
so thinking 6.6 volt battery.. Any tips on what size flight pack?
Still not sure what FBL unit to go with... I was thinking about the spectrum 7210 because that’s what radio I have but I don’t think it will have enough slots for gear, lights, and direct powered battery?
It seems the brain2 is a popular choice..
Also unsure on speed controller
Thanks for any setup tips also for the compactor mechanics
