Ok we all know the SC has a brushed motor and a Esc/RX Unit
Not sure how to pose this question concerning the esc/rx
AS the Unit has an aux channel, my wonder is, could one use that port to power a separate Rx-Stabilizer type unit ?
Now i had the SAFE Rx, in this plane, it is Ok, but it does some odd moving, ( AS3X part )like it tries to work but does not ( now i assume as it was not mounted solid that had allot to do with it )
But in my windy location, a stabilizer may help a little ....there are many such units around
I assume all i would need is it to be powered but also be able to have the Rudder/Elevator servo's wired to it and only the power running Through the original ESC/RX Unit in the SC ?
it is the brushless set up that makes me wonder if it will work
Now i know one can use a separate Rx to gain additional channels from one R to another but they are normal set ups and Esc and Rx's are separate themselves ....SO
possible, Impossible, or try and see ??

Hook a servo up to it. See what 'stick' it's connected to. Then see if you want to deal with that.
The brushed motor is not relevant. In fact, except that it may be proprietary (non-standard), the only thing special about the ESC/RX unit is the price they can command for it. Take a similar RX with the same # of channels and tape it to a (brushed) RX and there you have it. But, PZ may have messed with the channel arrangement. I don't know for sure, never seen one. No idea what that particular aux channel is for, or it's assignment.

I know the aux can be used for LED lights and a servo works off it ( bomb drop for example )
I assume I would hook the Rudder/Elevator servo's into the Stabilizer RX and have the power come out of Aux port on the original ESC/RX Unit ?
When I get a chance I am going to see if it works that way
Maybe a few days
BUT...I will let you know
Thanks again Fly

I use the rudder channel (activated via the flaps switch using the mixing function on my TX - it used to work off the rudder stick) to control a servo for my drop mechanism.
Works just fine. Should be able to power anything else just fine.
