Hummmm

Like Jesse said, Instead of running the power (pos and neg) for the servos through the vbar you need to pull those pins from the servo plugs and hook them directly to the bec.

I'd put them in some other plugs and use some double row header pins. Solder some copper wire across the back to parallel each pole. Solid 16ga maybe. And that should do it. Can work up a diagram tomorrow if you still want it.

That would be cool Paul.. I'm rack'n my brain here... I think I get it, but don't want to make HUGE cluster of wires on this small bird. Kinda aggravated with it right now.. I could put a AR7200BX on it and call it a day.. I have a few of those in a drawer.. Or order a Neo or iKon.. But really don't wanna drop anymore cash in on this.. Plus I wanted to give VBar a shot. Yeah, Paul.. See what u can brainstorm up for me & I'll give it a shoot. Thanks guys!

If I made a bus.. All 3 cyclic servos' pos leads and connected it with the pos bec lead, then to the VBar.. Repeated for the neg... Could I leave the rudder servo connected to the VBar only.. Or would that alone cause a brown out as well?

[cml001]

Ok, I ran the power leads into a lead for the servos power leads, and from there into the VBar... Powering the serves with out the use of the VBar... Still have the same issue.. I'm gonna go from hear and say that this VBar is no good... Trash! Gonna use the AR7200BX so I can get her airborne.. Might opt for an iKon or Neo at a later date.. For now tho that will have to do.

That mini vbar is a old case I take it you got it used
Thats odd that it still doing it . check and recheck the sat cable . If thats not it I would say it dose have a problem bus that feds the Sat

Thanks, but no.

A single servo in the Vbar should have been fine.

The bec on the edge lites is not that powerful. Possible the servos are drawing the bec down. Have a spare bec pro or other external bec available?

If you have a 7200bx to try, plug it in and see if it has issues before swapping it into the model entirely.

[cml001]

It works fine on iKon & AR7200BX..the iKon is spoken for.. So I stuck the AR7200BX on her till I can nab another iKon or a Neo.... I'll pick the build back up tomorrow. Thanks for the help tho guys!

Just noticed the Santa on the Hangout logo..nice!

Marius supplied it early on the 24th, but I didn't get the message until late the 25th. So some belated Christmas flavor for the forum, courtesy of Marius!

Ok, finished up with the AR7200BX... Everything is done save the maiden... If it'll ever quit raining.. I'll post that up on my flight log. My favorite feature on this bird is the drop battery tray. The pitch arms are turnbuckle style. Got the front mount tail servo done.. You have to remove the forward link, add an extension, then put the link on it.. Pretty neat... Allows for longer packs. You don't have to remove the canopy to change packs! I'm happy with it.. Looks good.. We'll see how she fly soon.

Looking good:)

Not sure if I shared this already... Anyhow.. So as I said earlier in this thread.. The scorpion motor didn't come with the other parts I had ordered... Later I was told it was on back order... I told the guy either have one drop shipped from another vendor or refund my $.... That was weeks ago.. Honestly I had forgot about it... Kinda.. Was gonna make a call this week once I remembered.. Anyhow.. Look what came. Look at the pic now!

[cml001]

Yes, that is 2 scorpion motors... Happy new year & sorry for the troubles I guess... The Align 450 may go 6s in the future... The other one I don't know what to do with.. Sell it or hold as a back up... The KDE is stay'n on the Chase tho... It's a little animal!

[pvolcko]

Score!

Brilliant result
