Richard it appears the kit I purchased from Terry came with all the channel cables, I'll only be using 6 .

Thanks - I though for a moment someone had worked some magic with the FlySky!

You can actually switch the mode inside the software to allow for 10ch but I wasnt able to make it work with the Clark board that way. I was to dumb to try whether the servos would work on the channels. But on youtube some guys got 10ch out of this setup like this.

Not to be forgotten....

My Jagdsturmtiger build has been put on the shelf while I assembled the dual Hetzers. I added the aluminum led machine gun from Tank-Modellbau.de and the front sprocket hubs from his website too.

Need to fit the dual speakers for the Tpa amp and the smoker. Then the electronics will be sorted and off to final assembly

I'm glad you're putting it all to good use sir.

Thank you very much. Hope you are feeling much better my friend

From my surgery, yes. However other issues took the place. Don't want to hijack your thread so I'll leave it at this.

Terry do feel better, we are here for you

Trying to fit all the electronics into the lower hull. I've gone with a Taigen V2 smoker, Taigen speaker for the gun and MG sounds and the Visiaton speaker from Tank modellbau for the engine sounds. It's a tight fit, bit I was able to build a removable deck from plasticard for the smoker and lower speaker.

I ran into a wee bit of issue with the SD card in the IBU board so I'm going to sort that out at another time. My computer needs to be upgraded and then I will work on the IBU and SD card. To run my initial tests of the massive gun I installed a very nice Tk60 board from Maxmekker and posted up a video of my progress.
