Ok, I'm not a sparky by any means but i took my time to wire it up. It's like magic to me!

I used a mini quad PDB ... some liquid tape and had to strip the 1.3vrx from its metal case (I screwed up the cnc measurements)!
I put the asus GFX fan in the back of the case aimed it at the Vtx/Rx.
The Turnigy power switch turns on the power supply and the BIG RED ARMING SWITCH turns on the Vtx/Rx.

10000mah on less than 0.5A draw should see this last a while  :D (:goofy: maffmatiks)



Now for you experts... ?  The Voltage reads 12.2 however when i power up the vrx/tx it drops to 11.7 ... is this normal to lose voltage when supplying Ah with fresh batts?

And.. can i assume that a common ground on the Vrx means i do not need a neg from the audio & vid socket - just a signal wire....

I've not tested it yet but it lights up luvverly  ;D

The voltage should not drop by the much from switching on low current use devices with a Lipo, not sure sure with ions though.
