RC transmission through tether

[bikerbones1968]

I know why. you have to set one channel as master one as slave.

BigAL Have you programmed the ESC's correctly? This is another thing to make sure you have done correctly? Have you tested each motor and ESC one at a time on a single channel to make sure you do not have a bad motor or ESC? Are you using a BEc circuit or a RX battery?

It should be pretty straight forward, the PPM signal can be placed on any spare channel and only requires two conductors to make it work. You only need the ground (usually Black) and the signal wire (usualy orange) from TX to the RX. The center pin on the RX leads are for 5VCC power.

I like your main body. What is it constructed with?

[BigAl999]

The body is 5 mm cast acrylic sheet that I bent myself with a small gas torch
The 2 sealed tubes are 100mm acrylic tubes with drain inspection ends.
The 3 thruster tubes are 75mm acrylic tube
Hope to get some more work done on it soon
