1.1. VMA-P210X PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF - Electric Power - Options
Question: I have a VMA-P210X PC9 or Texan II 06-12 ARF.  What do you recommend for a power system?
 
Answer: We have a couple of options for you to consider:
 
1) Our VMAX Power Module for the PC9 and Texan II 06-12 ARF is #VMM-P210XPM1. This consists of our VMAX Brushless Motor (#VMC-120B15VC) and our VMAX Electronic Speed Control (ESC) (#VMC-120B15VC). The motor and the ESC have been pre-installed onto the power module firewall to fit your model. 
 
2) Our VMAX Power Pack for the PC9 and Texan II 06-12 ARF  (#VMM-P210XPP1) contains the Power Module plus a LiPO battery pack, wiring harness and propeller.
 
Both of these options have been tested with the VMAR PC9 and Texan II 06-12 ARF and help you get into the air quickly and stay there!
 
 
1.2. VMA-P210X PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF - Electric Power - Wiring
Question: How should I wire my VMA-P210X PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF?
 
Answer: The simplest solution is to use our VMAX Power Pack which comes with a brushless motor, electronic speed control (ESC with BEC), battery pack, propellor etc and includes a custom made wiring harness for the PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF. The Power Pack for the PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF  is #VMM-P210XPP1.
 
If you have purchased the VMAX Power Pack please follow the installation instructions that come with the Power Pack. The VMAX Power Pack will save you hours of time and greatly reduce the chances of making an expensive mistake.

The PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF includes a fuse switch assembly that is externally accessible and a Y-splitter for coupling both aileron servos so that they can be driven from one receiver channel.
 
If you have your own motors, servos, speed controls etc that you intend on using, the manufacturer of these electric components is your best bet for advice.
 
1.3. VMA-P210X PC9 & Texan II 06-12 ARF - Firewall (Power Module) Spacing - Page 7, Figure 11K

This supplementary information applies to manuals with a copyright date of 20070418 (see back cover). Manuals having later copyright dates may already reflect this supplementary information.

Please see Page 7, Figure 11K.

Figure 11K illustrates the spacing between the fixed firewall in the front of the fuselage and the power module firewall to which is attached the motor and speed control.

The picture is correct. However the black type annotated distance shown in Figure 11K of the 20060314 version of the manual is incorrect. The distance should be .5 in. (12.5 mm).

The actual distance is not particularly critital. What is important is that: 

  • The spacing is equal at all four bolt locations.
  • The cowl can be pushed over the motor and power module firewall and back onto the fuselage with an overlap of 1/8 in. (3 mm)
  • The cowl does not touch the motor itself.
