This picture is a "Build Tip". I found that the large "bullet" connectors, used for most electric motors these days, fit perfectly in the crimping holes of my wire stripper tool. This made it really easy to complete the soldering of the connector to the wiring.
Here's a picture of the receiver (the basic 6200 that comes with the DX6i) installed; the wiring taped down; and, the control rod for one of the ailerons. You may notice that I had to glue some carbon rod extensions to the rods the kit supplied as they were about 1/2" too short for making the linkage.
This picture might show the extension a little better I think.
This picture shows just about all of the electronics installed...missing the battery and the BSC.
And now some picture of the completed kit...just waiting to fly.
Next posts will hopefully have some video of how well the Enticement flies...not necessarily how well I fly it, but the plane flies great :)
Here's a breakdown of the parts I used to complete this kit:
- Enticement ARF by E-flite (EFL1175)
- Spektrum DX6i
- Spektrum 6200 Receiver (with the satellite receiver)
- E-flite S60 Super Sub-Micro Servos (EFLRS60)
- E-flite Park 300 Brushless Outrunner motor (EFLM1150)
- Thunderbird 18 BSC by Castle Creations
- Thunder Power 910 mAh 7.4v 2s LIPO (Works great)
- FlightPower 1500mAh 7.4v 2s LIPO (Haven't tried yet???)
- Deans Ultra Plugs were used for battery and bsc connections
- E-flight Gold Bullet Connectors (EFLA241) were used for the motor to BSC connection
- ElectriFly PolyCharge 1-3 cell LIPO charger
- 8 x 4.3 Slow Flyer Orange Electric Propeller (EP-0843)
