E-Pattern RX battery - 8/22/2005 7:42:29 PM

Status: offline 		Hello to all,

I just wanted to say that since I went the electric route I consistently put between 70 to 90 mAh back into my RX battery. That is with 4 digital servos (2x Hitec 5625, 2x Hitec 5245) on my Eclipse. I switched from a 1500 mAh (about 60g) lipo battery to a smaller 700 mAh (about 30g), and I'm sure it will last more than enough time. I purchased a Graupner Lipo Charger 4 and I'm very happy with it. I could go lower, say, to a 450 mAh, but does it bring any benefit?

What RX battery size do you fly?

Regards
-Fabrizio

I typically put back 35-45 mAh per flight.
5 digital JR servos.

It is probably possible to use an even smaller pack (e.g. 450 mAh) but I think that the weight reduction would be insignificant. (about 12 grams.)

Status: offline 		Uh.. forgot to mention that I use a 5.5V Voltage regulator from Alewings.it (Alessandro Torri).
Will stick to the 700 mAh based on your experience (and thought I was flying a 1500 5-cell NiCd on my older design Topline, weight ~ 100g... How things change...
Thanks for the feedback, very appreciated!

I have found that the less I stir the sticks, the better the plane goes.
