I would say 5amp continous 10amp burst... is the usual rating of the servo wires used. Hence I always go something with 2 sets of wires.. adds redundancy and capacity..

and yes @feral its rated at 20amps...

 

@Manyc thanks buddy. I didnt get the point with the 2 sets of wires. How do you combine them?

I just needed to know if the switch can tolerate the 2S RX lipo and the high voltage servos from align because I dont want to loose this bird because of a switch. But it should be allright..

 

voltage is not an issue.. its the amp draw.... do a visual comparison to std servo wires.. I used the "Heavy Duty" version for ages on my trex 700... I switch to the pro, as I was starting to fly harder, and just wasnt sure.

you dont really combine cables.. you need to have 2 sets come from the source. That way both wires are powered and can provide double the max amperage of one.. if that makes sense. This is why I like using the main power cable, instead of the servo wire coming out of the packs, as there is no point having a 1 servo wire coming out and spliting into two down the track, as you would be limited by the initial wire specs...

Most servo wire is 26awg... some are 24awg.. but you would want to be running 22awg if you want to be safe...

 

One other issue apart from current draw is the ability of the switch to remain connected during intense vibration. Make sure you tap the switch while the unit is NOT spooled up and ensure the gyro does not reset due to bouncing contacts.

 

Thanks for the tips guys.

There are two wires coming out the RX pack but anyway the Gpro has only one input and that is the futaba plug..

 

You can use a y adapter to plug in the throttle and power via it.. assuming you can plug power into that port without damaging.. I do that on the Spartan and brain

 

And as long as there is no bec power going via the throttle lead

 

Ok thanks. I have seen some examples on the net as well and will think about. Running a BEC will never happen to my helis. Only RX packs. Its a bit annoying that the Gpro is not polarity protected and I have to put it that switch now, what has the consequence that i have to revire the whole powering system. Plug in the RX pack directly to the FBL unit would be so easy, because there are allready heavy duty wires on the pack..
