Chelly, I could not be happier! Got me a turnigy 9x 2.4G and four (4!) 5gr Hextronix servos just like you suggested! I also got a turnigy 2200 mAh, 3 cell, 11.1V and an EMax CF2812 outrunner, rated for 11.1V. Is it safe to use this battery with the servos and the receiver (Turnigy 9X)? Won't they fry with the 11V? There are four leads on the battery output (red, blue,yellow and black). Does the battery split the voltage somehow?
I feel I will be flying (and posting pictures) soon!
Happy new year - on the air!

The ESC has a BEC or voltage regulator that reduces the 11.1v voltage to 5 volts for the receiver and servos, the 4 wires comeing out of the lipo is the balance plug, you charge the lipo from that plug with the 4 wires if you have a balance charger, if you dont have a balance charger, you charge the lipo from the 2 battery cables, you need to get a ESC to run the motor with, get at least a 25 to 30 amp esc, turnigy plush is a great esc, hope that helps, Chellie

You need more friends here :) LOL, Take care, Chellie
