ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM WIRING:
DIAGRAM NOTES:
1.
Wire colors in the above ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM WIRING diagram are only to enhance
readability.
2.
We recommend each ESC-to-motor extension be comprised of three 12 AWG (or larger)
silicon-insulated stranded copper wires. As pictured in the above diagram, recommended
extension lengths are: 22-inches (3-wirex 2 sets); 24-inches (3-wirex 2 sets); and 30-inches
(3-wirex 2 sets).
3.
Double-check the motors’ and extensions’ solder joints and ensure that every connector
and solder joint is well insulated. A defective solder joint or a short circuit could damage a
motor and/or ESC.
4.
After test-running each motor, label the wires to identify how to connect each ESC to its
extension.
5.
We recommend using 4mm banana connectors and heat-shrink tubing:
a.
Where outer wing panels meet the wing’s center section ................ 6 sets (3 on each side)
Where the motors’ extensions attach to the ESCs ............................ 12 sets (3 per ESC)
Total quantity of recommended sets of banana connectors ....... 18 sets
(NOTE: “Set” means one male and one female banana connector.)
b.
Approximate required length of 5 to 8mm diameter heat shrink tubing ........ 4 feet
(Use at least 1-inch of insulation to fully cover each set of banana connectors and solder joints.)
