1/6 scale SE5 with Sound

I recently purchased an SFX5.3 sound module from Model Solutions of Canada and installed it in my 1/6 scale scratch built RAF SE5 (Dennis Byrant Plans) with a 4" speaker. The aircraft uses a 3S2P A123 battery and since in didnt want to fiddle with an additional battery I purchased a Dimensional Engineering AnyVolt step up/step down dc to dc convertor. Basically the component takes any voltage from 4.2 to 28V and converts it to any output voltage from 2.5V to 24V and accepts up to a 2 amp current. I used it to dial in a smooth 12 volts from the flight battery for the sound board and every thing worked extremely well.

Hi

The sound system from Model Solutions of Canada cost around $230 CDN.

The simulated engine revs are directly proportional to the throttle position along with a special startup sound and shutdown sound. The simulated machine gun fire is controlled independently from a separate channel.

Very nice!! I've heard of people working on this setup for electrics, but this is the first video i've seen displaying it. I do have two questions.

What was your total cost for the speaker setup?

When you throttle up does the engine sound rotate faster (thought I heard that, but not sure).

Great scratch build...
