The ESC was originally mounted tilted to the side to
accomodate the position of the motor leads presented when
the motor was installed, but it ended up being very helpful
to make more space for the heat sink purchased from an R/C
car dealer.
|
The inverted T-shaped thin ply ESC mount is attached to
the frame with small pieces of thin black servo tape and
ty-raps. The ESC is attached to that mount with the same
tape and a ty-rap. An effort was made to not bend the motor
wires sharply as they exit its case.

I really like this location for the UBEC! It's well
protected from damage and some distance from the motor, ESC,
& battery wirirng. It's held in place with two ty-raps
(hole drilled through frame for front one) and a small piece
of thin black servo tape.

My current installed equipment shown in these photos
is:
- Kontronik FUN 600-18
- Schulze Future 45 Ho
- Airtronics 92777 FM 7ch receiver
- UBEC
- 3 x JR 3421 digital servos w/ JR HD servo arms

- Mikado 3-D paddles
- Mikado 500mm F/G blades
* I have switched to a Revolution whip antenna maounted
on the rear landing gear leg, pointed to the rear. I am
about to install the new JR 770 PCM receiver (it's Tiny!).
NOW, I would not change a thing!

Note the small piece of plywood taped in place with thin
black servo tape. It lifts the front of the battery pack
higher so that longer packs will fit the canopy.
|
The photo on the left shows how I installed the ESC
power wire towards the rear of the heli to allow for the
batteries to be connected with the canopy installed. Also,
the splice for the UBEC power wire is tapped off this
wire.

Rear view shows the tailboom mount for the gyro.
