Nothing too fancy on this one... I still need to clean up the wiring a little, but this setup works pretty well.
Remember to put the 2-in-1 switch as far back as possible or you will not be able to reach it for the canopy.

if I had an AR7100 I'd be all over that setup :)
still waiting on mine, and it will go in my Aurora and 8717's :)

I get about 5-6 flight before going to orange on the 2-in-1 - the 1900 pack is fairly inexpensive, so I have 1 extra as backup in my field box.
Happy building - remember to post some photos of your final setup...:thumbup:

I'm reasonably happy with this setup, the only problem I had was with the spectrum step down wire bundle comping out on the top. Someday I'll man up and go 8V...can't beleive the simplicity of some of the 8V systems that have been posted.

Not the cleanest in the world, but it will work! You tell yourself that your going to take the time to make everything neat and towards the end, in the smallest spots, all the wires are different lengths:shock:. Bunch em together and put a zip tie around them:thumbup:

Well after looking at the above pics I'm embarassed to post my pics - I guess my only lame excuse is that I'm using the Flighttech 8A regulator (http://www.flightpowerusa.com/index.asp?page=Products/Product(Info.asp^currency=USD_item=FT8AVR)which has a LOT of wires and a separate Futaba glow driver - just had to have these in my box and couldn't get hold of an ALign 2 in 1. Also AR9000 and Align gov

Here's mine. The one loose wire is from the backplate RPM sensor, it's only temporary until I can hook up the align sensor to the 7100R!

We have a typhoon here in Taiwan today, so no flying today :( Instead, I cleaned up my wiring a bit. Quite happy with it now... ;)

John you should be ashame of yourself, are you going to the moon with the T700N, you have more technology and wiring to land that on the moon or better yet mars.

I'm no expert but is that your check valve I see way up buy your fuel tank? If so you should check the engine paperwork because that check valve is supposed to be close to the back plate. It makes a difference I just don't understand why.

cheers for that , i didnt realise it had to be...anyone know the reason why?

I think it's because the YS diaphram pump displaces a certain volume on each stroke. The larger the volume that it is being displaced into, the smaller the resulting pressure rise. If the check valve is too far from the engine, the volume of the fuel tubing in between could drop the pressure rise on each pulse so that nothing is pumped past the check valve.
