H9 ASH 31 build, notes and questions

[Mark9]

I consider the wiring to be a Zen thing...

[Steve P]

Don’t you still have to make/buy extensions between all the wing servos and that doohickey— which is the same connector as the Hansen? I’m corn fused?

[BryanB]

LOL! But apparently wiring gives him the jitters,

[QUOTE=ARUP;n33078]Whenever I get to mine I'm going to be really lazy and use these EDR-102 One Click Connectors from wwwelectrodynam.com. Anywhere from 2 to 5 servos can be ganged separately onto one set of connectors. I got rid of my crimping stuff... too much work! I told you I was lazy!



You're the same guy that draws his own plans from a book and then scratch builds the plane, right?

I would have needed their 1 x 12 to do the same on my Ventus. Just went with two MPX 6 pin connectors instead.

[BryanB]

I went with Len's suggestion on using latching plugs (1x9) from Hansen Hobbies. I didn't feel like soldering and it's now just one plug. Just the usual crimping and off you go. Quick and easy. A little extra wire you have to stuff in the wing but very simple.

Bryan, everything works perfect after the update

I decided to use recessed DB-9 plugs in the wings to make it easy for me to connect wings

here are couple of pictures of the grinding

A bit of carving, some wood is added for the screws

Ed, I had a devil of time getting my first AS3000 to work in my ASW20 last year. I just wanted telemetry but you have to go through the entire initialization process and zero out all the gyro stuff then you are left with just the telemetry.

[Ed DeRossi]

I learned something new today. If you install a Spektrum AS3000 stabilization module in your ASH31 without updating the firmware on your powersafe receiver like Spektrum tells you to, the factory retract system won't work properly and the spoilers won't either. The spoilers will act like they are nervous. Ask me how I know this.

[lenb]

Nice work Stephane!!

[RickS]

For anyone using the Spektrum 7050 servos if you use the available 24 inch locking cable (SPMSP3025) then you don't need a servo extension. The cable is also available in an insulated version (SPMSP3028).

Started mine with the fuse, chopping the nose, great idea of a chap on the other forum using a caliper to trace the cutting area and proofing the spinner diameter before cutting it just about right, not too much sanding and a perfect shape well centered

first caliper and assumed lemgth

A bit of extra triming

One spline angled towards the LE on a bottom mount bottom drive servo/linkage will give a slight amount of down surface mechanical differential. We do it to the extreme when setting up flaps for landing control on our TD competition ships. On those we strive to get as close to 90 degrees down as possible! Look forward to seeing your ASH in April Bryan.
