Hello Everyone,
This is my first thread and I am almost ready to begin my first airplane. I am a skilled hobbyist, but have never attempted a flyable craft. I have put many years into flight sims, including daily use of Great Planes RealFlight and I am pretty good.
I have a 900mm Techone Popwing sitting here in the box unopened. I have the ARF version and have almost everything I need. I still need a transmitter (probably going to get a FlySky TH9X with receiver) and will wait until I get those before I start the build.
I have read that many have needed servo extensions for this model. What length and type do I need? I have been trying to familiarize myself with connector types for servos, batteries, ESC's, balancing ports etc...
I know more questions will be answered when I start the build, but I am just shaking off my pre-build jitters.
I also have an unopened HobbyKing EPP Eagle that I am doing the same thing with.
My main goals are to slope soar these at Lake Chabot in Unincorporated Hayward, California.
The batteries I have for the EPP Eagle have EXT60 connectors and the batteries for the Popwing look like T or what they call Deans connectors I guess?
My main question is do I need to buy some lengths of patch wire and banana connectors and adapters to run the power wires for the ESC and Batteries?
I am very excited to take my hobbies to new heights.
In the future I hope to go crazy with my HAM license(KG6RYF) in regards to FPV, but I need to get in the air first.
Any tips will help.
Thank you.
