6 May 2011 Volume 18 Issue 5 Page 6 Long Distance Show and Tell by RON PETTEREC SHOESTRING- I have 6 flights on it and flies nice and fast! O.S. 70 F/S 12x6 prop ELVIN SERVELLON S SBACH I think my creativity went wild when creating a cockpit for the sbach since it did not have anything to begin with. I decided to add an LED for the ignition with Tachometer linked to it. Separate to that is the switch that turns on the system battery voltage meter that also governs and distributes current to the servos based on their specific demand.
