Am I using the right connectors on my heli?

I think they'll handle the 8A expected. There are 2 expansion ports on the back for lipo alarm etc. AND it's UL listed!

Yeah, that's the right conenctors, all right. LOL.

Gotta get me one of those too for my birds, er I mean helis... :D BTW, does it come with a 230V 13A Britsih-type of plug?


Cheers,

OK I like the concept a giant plastic Deans connector , now add a lightweight bridge rectifier and appropriate diodes and resistors to tame that AC to DC for the Huge Brushless powerplant and extend that extension cord to 50 or 75 feet and you got a control line Heli ! Lipo's or Emoli's not required!... 8)

Steve,
Make sure you get a patent for it before someone copies your prototype :)

I was trying to use beans connectors but I couldn't tell which was male or female so I never could get them to connect properly. Some folks say they are difficult to get apart but I couldn't keep them together long enough for the rotor to spin. Cheap enough though at a dollar for a pound bag. Maybe I just bought the wrong ones. I thought I'd save weight by using pinto. Maybe great northerns would have been better.
