Rx Socket Query

[Caravan9927]

I have just finished putting together the 450s kit which has a Spectrum D6i with an AR6200 receiver and have connected the servo plugs into the Rx sockets as follows:-

1. ESC to Throttle
2. Rudder servo into the Gyro
3. Gyro ( single wire to Gear
( Triple wire to Rudder
4. Elevator to Elevator
5. Aileron to aileron

Firstly, is this configuration correct and secondly, What goes into the Batt/ Bind socket ?

[Rich J]

OK except you have missed one out. One of your front servos will be the aileron and the other is the pitch and will connected to the Aux1 socket.

There is nothing to go into the Batt/Bind socket except the bind plug supplied with your Tx for, but only when binding your model to the Tx.

Hope this helps

1. ESC to Throttle
2. Aileron to Aileron
3. Elevator to Elevator
4. Gyro (Rudder servo connects to gyro)
5. Gyro Gain (single wire)
6. Pitch

Numbers listed are the channels that stuff should be plugged in to.
Gyro gain doesn't have to be channel 5 - it's just where I put it...

Cheers,

Thanks both of you. Yes, I had omitted the pitch servo Rich but after I sent in that query, I had another look at the Gyro leaflet and it showed the triple gyro lead going into Aux. However, I was not sure if that applied to the Spectrum because the leaflet instructions were based on the Hitec/Futaba radio. If that is ok for the Spectrum, will it be ok to put the pitch servo into 'Gear' instead of Aux ?

Unfortunately, Rob, my rx sockets are named not numbered and are not in the order you quoted but thank you all the same.

Anyway, many thanks once again for taking the trouble to reply.

Hi Bernie,
Ignore the numbers... just plug them into the receiver starting with throttle in that order

Thro = ESC
Aile = Aileron
Elev = Elevator
Rudd = Gyro (Rudder servo connects to gyro)
Gear = Gyro Gain (single wire)
Aux1 = Pitch

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob. I am quite happy with that and will do as you suggest. However, whilst you are viewing can I push my luck and ask one more question :-

The 3 male pins that stick out of the gyro (on to which the servo plug fits ) are immediately adjacent to the 4 wires coming out of the gyro. The trouble is the gyro lead can fit on to the 3 pins either way round. Do you happen to know which way they go ie with the plain face of the servo plug facing towards the 4 gyro wires or away from them or does it matter ? There is absolutely nothing to tell you which way round they should go and I appreciate this one may be difficult for you to answer but I thought I would ask.

Bernie

PS The gyro is an Align RCE 550

Hi the metal parts that you can see on the servo plug face towards the 4 wires that exit the gyro to goto the rx.
