Space Control and RS Systems Hobie Hawk radio Lockdown project

Post by jmendoza »

Here are my projects since I can't go anywhere or fly: A 1962 Space Control 4 channel analog proportional system (charging) and an RS Systems 3 channel set for a Hobie Hawk glider; note the cool 2-in-1 servo brick.
.
I plan to replace the servo amps, motors and pots, AR400 in the Rx case and I'll replace the header pins on the AR400 with the multi-connector block and cable from the receiver. The Tx will get a DSM2 2.4 Ghz module, PhilG V2 encoder, an ESV circuit for the meter, and a 3S LiPo.

Space Control Tx works but might need new tubes, there are 6 3A5 and 4 1L4 tubes(Valves for you guys in the UK) The Space Control brick works too but is erratic, it needs to be tuned as it glitches with the Tx off. The rudder and throttle seem to be the problem, aileron and elevator are rock solid. All the parts in the Rx brick are coated with 1/2 inch of epoxy, making component replacement a daunting task at best, wish me luck!
