how to use a switch

[brunsflyer]

is there a after market or align part to mount a switch for 600N?


any pics?

also how do peeps mount battery checker?

my checker hads two mounting holes but dont know where i can put it

[matrix1171]

nope, not to knowledge.... anybody else?

I thought that was all built in to the Align BEC Unit that came with the 600N just like the 660E. No?

[matrix1171]

there was no bec in the kit and it was factory sealed. but there are combos that do from align

Odd. For $17 bucks you get cools lights a regulator and a switch. Tough to beat.

i have the 600N pro combo but dont wanna use the BEC...just wanna use a switch that came with my jr radio X9303 with a JR 6 volt 3000 Mah battery.


anybody have pics or part number for a CF attachment for switch plus a battery checker?

That is so "old school" :thumbup: You want my RX battery that came with my x9303? Pay shipping and it is yours.

I run 7+ volts on a LiIon or Lipoly then though a regulator (or what Align calls a BEC). In this way your servos should not be able to over draw the pack and you will not get voltage drops. Also if you use the Align switch the battery checker is built in.:)

You can just just use double sided sticky tape to attach the old standard JR switch anywhere you'd like.

On my 600N I used the gyro tray kit (# HN6051 ) installed between the canopy posts.
Drill two 3/16 holes for the switch ( and square them with a hobbie knife ) and two 1/8
holes for the mounting screws.Then mount the voltage monitor beside the switch for easy viewing.
Hope this helps.

Yep you can get a voltwatch for $11 bucks http://www.towerhobbies.com/products/hobbico/hcap0332.html

but like I said for $16 you get both a switch , regulator and voltmeter.
Most gyros you can not run 6V to it.

hear talks about align BEC failing so i wanna use a switch with a 6 volt NiCad with a step-down for my GY611. Will voltage drop so much using this setup with 3000 Ma Battery?

[brunsflyer]

need pics of peeps using switch and volt meter and how its being mounted on 600N pro..


thanks

[matrix1171]

everybody i know is using double stick tape and sticking it to the right side of the heli

I have seen a regular switch fail more than I have seen the Align switches fail.

If you hard mount a regular switch on a nitro they tend to shake apart thats why I say use double sided sticky tape. Lots of people use heavy duty switches with regulators that cost over $50 and this seems crazy until you have a $300 crash because of a bad switch or regulator. ;) http://duralitebatteries.com/flight/accessories4.php#Heavy

I'll agree with the dog.. i've had more standard and heavy duty switches fail, than i have electronic BEC's and regulators.

my vote is the align 2 in 1

This should work.

He "may" be a bit biased but he is certainly right. :lol:

well, now that we know one exists.. i guess its time to order one or fabricate one

[brunsflyer]

going to order that

[WayneBrown]

just stick it on the servo frame where you can reach through the hole in the bottom of the canopy.. sheesh!
