[TowerTalk] Switching Controls to Multiple rotors

[Bill Hider, N3RR]

WE9V pointed out to me, correctly, that I was incorrect in my saying that the
Ringrotors could use # 18 wire with a  500 feet cable run.  The correct cable sizes
are:

Motor wires (two wires), for one motor:                                       Control
wires (three):

up to 125 feet ------#16 GA                                            up to
300 ft --- #18
         200 ft --------#
14                                                                  500 ft ----#16
         300 ft  -------#
12                                                                  1200 ft ---#12
         500 ft  -------#10
         750 ft --------# 8
        1200 ft -------# 6

Motor wires (two wires), for two motors:                    Control wires (three
wires):

up to 125 ft --------#14                                                 SAme as 1
motor
         200 ft --------# 12
         300 ft  -------# 10
         500 ft  -------#8
         750 ft --------# 6
        1200 ft -------# 4

I will add this info to my n3ringrotor website.
