Hi,

Been offline a bit recently but managed to get some more building done. So firstly the wiring is routed through the base of the light and inside the hull via a resistor to a mini tamiya connector. This matches the connector I have on my board with the pico switch on. As ever a couple of piccies: -

1. Cable (heat shrinked) routed into the hull

Also repalced the moulded in blobs that represented, in the loosest of ways, the lifting hooks around the vents.

And replaced the blobs that the rear hatch would open onto with some bent brass strip.

Hi Jeff,

Did you get any further with this one?
I'm very curious to see if your DX6i settings worked out ok, your explanation of the set up was very clear and I wanted to know if you had to make any further adjustments.
Did you use the Dual rate switch for the elevator to change between 100% and 125% or just set up the DMD for 100% then change the setting to 125%?
I'm just about to purchase a TX for my King Tiger, Leopard and JS-2 and am still undecided between the DX6i and the Planet T5 system.

Best Regards

Keith.
