BEC for HV servos – Mini 560 quick mod
Looking for an efficient and powerful HV bec for your servos and receiver(s)? The Mini 560 DC-DC Step-down, which costs less than 1$, is able to output continuous 4A with 98% of efficiency from a 3S lipo (manages 2s to 4s). The Mini 560 is available in 5V or 9V. A quick modification of a

Willow Sor… and more precisely an E-Willow Sor. Straight forward build – nothing special except the electric conversion. The initial goal is reached: no lead added with the electric conversion so finally nearly no overweight compared to the non-electric model. This outrunner give me 90watt/lb which is pretty good and more than enough. redundant power
This build is using the e-schwing fuselage to simply make an electric version of the Schwing glider (a Schwing Corsa here), not a hotliner as this fuselage was primary designed for. Finished with a pretty nice result: auw: 2380kg – and it is a Corsa 2.75m 😉 – the original e-schwing 88 was 2600kg in
