I wish I had a graphics program I actually knew, installed in this
computer. Oh well. The possibilities....
Ahem, to be more relevant but perhaps still silly, I wonder if anyone
has tried using the tailboom for an antenna? How about the wing spar for
the ground, i.e. negative, power wire? For reference, for another
project I measured a carbon tow at 25ohms/ft. Not sure which type.Not
sure how many tows in one of those spars.
Seems to me those dedicated wires are just extra insulation. For that
matter, you could drop the insulation on the negative wire. One could
use one big wire, as someone else mentioned. And a little wire for the
signal. If you're worried about reliability, one big wire makes it
easier to have redundant pins. If you use double pins for every
function, that's 12 pins per wing. One big connector, perhaps? Also, if
you're worried about reliablility, make sure you use very careful strain
relief. Probably using really fine stranded wire would help with the
reliability as well, but I don't know where to get it, particularly on a
budget.
