Title: Scratch built Spad Storm
Post by: iwincar on November 20, 2014, 12:56:47 PM
This is my first scratch build coro which is started building after prolong observation and study of rc building on the forum. The design is derived from various aircrafts

see the attached picture for setting glow or electric aircraft, its a general idea and in your case receiver channel order might change.

and that four pin connector is battery balance connector and 3 pin connector on receiver is for servo signals ( signal, V+ and Gnd).
You need a BL-ESC (brush-less electronic speed controller) with inbuilt BEC (battery eliminator circuit) of at least 4-5amp/5V rating
The rating general depends on the size,type and number of servos one uses or get a external BEC.

See picture for details

DO NOT Connect the battery's balance port into the receiver. There is a good chance you'll fry your receiver.
Most ESCs have a UBEC. This means that they will power the receiver through the throttle cable itself. What ESC are you using? It would be helpful if you could post a pic of the ESC

@sahilkit is it so that my esc is without Bec, so do I have to buy it separately as a saftey back up so the assembly will be
Motor--->ESC---BEC--->Bat--->receiver

In the photo bat is 4 point and receiver is 3 pin  now what to do ?

You never connect the Lipo directly to the Rx, unless it is a Glow Engine, and you are using a battery (think LiFe and NiMh/NiCad) specifically meant for that. Unless of course you desire to have fried Rx for breakfast  >:D

You connect the battery to your ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) - most ESCs have a built in BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) or you will have to use a separate external BEC.

The ESC will have a 2 wire input to accept power from the LiPo battery, give you two outputs - one, a servo type plug to go in your Rx (normally Ch 3) and 3 heavy power cables to connect to your motor.

Read about it: there are volumes written in this forum.

@ mahu berry @shilkit here is the tech
Esc and rx
Do you suggest ai should get Bec to support it

@sanjayrai55 @all No I certainly don't want a 1000₹ breakfast fried receiver no no no....

So the moral of the story is 1 no need to worry for 4 pin 3pin as they will never never be connected
2 only bat will be connected to esc and this one has built in Bec ....what a goof up I did

Becoz that 4 pin is for Charger  did I frame it correctly Masters? What a relief

iwincar what you have posted is good but until you have sorted out everything don't power them.

1st post your setup or parts you are planning to use !

List

Transmitter = Flysyk 6 ch.
Receiver = Flyky 6ch
Battery = voltage ?(number of  cells like 4S - AH or mah like 4000mah etc.)
Servos = how many make/size ?
BL-ESC ? BL motor ? Prop ? Bec if needed.
other Misc stuff. and airplane accessories.

Put more details of your ESC or post the link

Here are mot,bat,esc,servo spec

It is written BEC on your ESC. And there is a servo type lead which will plug into your receiver

Latest update on the fuse. There is nothing like building one yourself

Can't You write them down.

The stuff you have is 2212 1000kv motors from quadkopters, ZTW beatles 30a esc, emax es08aII servo, Haiyin 2200mah 3s lipo.
How many Servos do you have?
Do You have the connector for the battery plug for your esc and do you have the gold connectors for the motor esc leads.

Do you know how to solder.

One thing I will suggest don't simply connect the esc servo lead to the receiver you will need to see the polarity.
