Due to space and CG constraints, we
decided to install the ESC in the rear end of
the plane directly below the duct.
Openings in the duct will allow the ESC
fins to get enough cooling.
Extend the Battery leads to the desired
length. In our case 5cm.
Only use silicon cables of 14GA or bigger
for this. Isolate the cables with heat shrink.
Trial fit the ESC at the desired location and
extend the cables to the battery position.
Depending on the ESC you use it might be
a good idea to install an anti-flash resistor
at the ESC-Battery connector.
Solder a 100k-150k resistor to the +
connector of the ESC Cable as shown
above.
Isolate the resistor from the connector
casing with a heat shrink tube.
Make a loop of the remaining resistor wire
just past the end of the connector. When
we connect the battery we want that the
connector wire first touches the resistor
wire and only afterwards the connector on
the ESC side.
