I'm doing a guillows balsa/tissue build and using the brick from a horizon hobby sport cub s. I'm attaching everything and don't understand where one of the wires goes.

The twisted orange/plumb wire connects to something but I didn't get the whole plane so I'm confused.

Hmm... might just be my computer but that didn't come through

*EDIT* seems to be working now

I think it goes to the batt but im not entirely sure.

Not sure for sure, if you don't get a clear answer before morning I'll drag some parts out of storage I think might be similar. Might be for the port for the throttle channel? Not sure that it would have come in the plane like that. I doubt the factory would use a 2 wire plug in a 3 wire connection.

*EDIT* I see its a 4 wire connection, and it was put in that way from the factory to power an FPV camera

The black & white wire is where the battery plugs in. The orange and red wire is to give power to fpv cameras and lights and what not. It’s not needed unless you have a specific purpose for it. Nice lancer btw!

The black wire towards the bottom goes to the battery.

You are the second person suggesting it could power fpv and I'm starting to lean in that direction. I never saw the origonal configuration or a manual.

It could be cool having a camara view of the flight but for now I'm just trying to get it air worthy.

Thank you. Yea, this lancer is my first build. Making every mistake but learning quite a bit. I have several others waiting once this is complete. Thanks for your help.

Yup, FPV

and both of the other ports are aileron outputs. The Sport Cub S has 2 aileron servos.

This might help.

Very cool. Thank you everyone. I didn't know about this site. Is this site just for factory built planes or should I start doing build threads here?

Pretty much anything RC related on here
