No heatsink. The outrunner just sits right between the frame just under the little red switch on top. If set up properly brushless motors shouldnt get that hot.
It also has a built in "fan" like top portion that pulls air through it as it spins

The modules should be here soon and thanks for the timer find info!

I saw that as well coming out of the side of the ICS. It looks like they have it set up to do what you are saying. Maybe a future application or function of some sort???

So I made a test in practice I disabled autorotation in Innovator sofware. After I powered up the heli, CH6 output pinout on EXP body gives slightly over 6V between left and middle pin (power for the servo), and right pin gives voltage level depending on position of autorotation switch on TX unit.

So definitely CH6 works ! The last thing is to find suitable servo for it. I would like to try some aerial photography using this channel.

Not future, it works now See my previous post.

Yes I just read this. What I was referring to was TT having the future use for it but you beat them to it Good find!

It could be used for scale lighting as well if a suitable plug is used.

How a bout a 2.4Ghz videao camera? Im not sure what voltage they need to operate.

Understand
Oh yes, lighting is another great idea!

Very cool. Ive seen many vids with the other Fly Cam products, and although they are reasonably priced, the vid quality was not very good.

They alway had a wavy effect to the video during playback. Im by far not an electronics guy at all, but Ive heard all sorts of explanations for this such as the camera and the heli both being on the same 2.4 Ghz frequency, Or the method the system uses to record video, but really have no idea why this happens.

see if this works...Robco

Wavy videos ... yes almost all videos from helis are wavy and I'm pretty sure that is not related to electricity at all. I think that is simply vibration issue. Very little unbalance of main rotor will lead to wavy video and almost everybody place his flycamone between skids, very near to rotor vertical axis where vibrations are strongest and any unbalance is very noticable. Flycamone videos from airplanes mostly don't have such kind of issue.

What did I do

Xrayted ,my computer show's your last 2 diagrams, when I click on that pic on my computer I posted...XP gone crazy I guess...Robco
