Hi everyone.

First: A big thank you to Tomas and Jason (Jmann) for helping me make the right decision in purchasing my 3 Spirits! The Spirit flies amazingly well on my mini Protos stretch and for me, intuitively much easier to set up and navigate than a BD3SX. Second: I have a Thunder Tiger X50 Nitro and am stuck on how to wire the Spirit, GY701 governor and receiver. Plus, I have a Switch Pro Glo that I'd like to install. The receiver I have is the R6303SB, and I'd like to use SBUS if possible (at least with that receiver).

My questions:
#1) Do I need a full Futaba receiver? If so, can someone recommend one?
#2) Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the spirit, gov, receiver & switch pro glow?
#3) Is it possible to still use SBUS

Thanks to everyone, in advance, for any thoughts/opinions or help you can offer! :)

Hi HeliBry73!

I believe it is possible to connect all together with your receiver and S-Bus.

I think that the best solution is to switch the receiver to mode, when the output of 3 ports is from 9th - 16th channel.
Then you can assign governor/glow/throttle servo to these 3 ports while sbus cable will be used for powering the receiver.
BEC will be connected to the AUX port.

You are welcome.
Mode in the receiver can be changed by the button, then it should output channels from "second part". It is described in the manual of the receiver.
In this way you can use at least 7 + 3 channels that should be enough.
