| Subject: | Re: PC board fabrication |
Hi...i am a new user here. Only once in perhaps 40-50 orders was there a production
error, and they notified me by email before the boards even arrived, so I
didn't waste time or components. Replacements came very quickly.If you use Eagle
for board layout, they'll accept your design file directly. All other EDA
packages can simply export industry-standard Gerber and NC Drill files and upload
them in a ZIP archive.

That's a good way to do it. I've always discouraged
builders from buying a 'flight battery' until the
days before first flight. Before that time, a garden
tractor battery from WalMart et. als. will let you do
your development/testing work.
Years ago, I used to sell a 13.8v bench supply . . . I
think it was rated at about 25 amps. If memory serves,
we used to get $140 for them. These were recommended
as a 'plug in battery' . . . just wire this puppy to the
airplane's battery contactor. Nowadays, there are even
better bargains out there . . . here's one:

This thing puts out enough snort to run the whole
airplane. You could put on your white scarf, turn
out the shop lights and sit in the cockpit with the
whole panel lit up while playing engine noises on the
.mp3 player.
Before that time, it's useful to pull all the fuses
out of the panel for installation one-at-a-time as
individual systems are fired up for the first time.
In any case, buying/installing the flight battery for your
airplane should be a ceremonial event . . . like
breaking the bottle of champaign on the bow of a
ready to launch ship.
