The Electronics are pretty much complete.
Everything can be controlled from the Transmitter, Turnigy 5 Channel.
Except for the 3 volt running lights. I was not able to get them to operate from my Multi Switch.
The difficulty with the electronics is because of the various voltages involved. 14.7 for the motor and ESC. 9v for the sound. 12 to 14 for cabin lighting, 3v for the running lights. I was able to run the cabin lights at 9v. i was able to achieve the voltage difference with a step-down board.
i had to use a 3v batt for the running lights? I'm pretty comfortable with electronics, but this one has me baffled so i took the separate 3v battery route.
All manual Switches are located under the hatch which I made operational'
(It gets hot down next ti the boiler the boys need all the ventilation they can get!!) As is with the open windows๐๐
Still a way to go before completion.
