Status: offline 		Sounds like the 4 in 1, is the battery swollen like it has air trapped inside the cover? Can you be sure it isn't the battery? I mean before it shuts off are you getting to the point where it will lift off, does it die slowly or suddenly?

Status: offline 		It might hurt it, or it might not. It could depend on how accurate the 19v label is. Some transformers will actually put out more or less than the voltage on the label. So, if it's putting out 18.5v you're probably all set. If it's putting out 20.5v, it might be risky.
If you don't have a multi-meter to test the voltage, it's something you should invest in. You can get cheap ones for 15 bucks that'll work fine. You can test the transformer outputs, and also the battery to see if it really has a full charge.
Aside from the voltage on the transformer, you need to know the current. It should say something like 19V 1.5A (or 1500ma). My guess is that you'll need at least 1.5 amps to run the charger properly. Having a higher amp rating is fine. But, if it's too low, even though the voltage it right, it won't charge the battery all the way (or at all).

Status: offline 		Are you using the charger that came with the Heli?? That is a 120 Volt charger that should be OK. You should also be able to attach it to your car battery or any 12 Volt battery like a car battery. Li-Poly batteries charge to a voltage, they can go bad if overcharged or if they are run down to far. Also overcharging can cause a fire.

Status: offline 		GTXSlotcar....I must second all that! Back when I bought my charging station I was hunting around for a suitable transformer at home. I have so many of them lol, from modem transformers to sound system ones and the biggest one which is for the cordless drill. I was surprised to find that all these put out a higher voltage than what it says on the label! For example, the cordless one is rated at 18V and in reality it puts out around 24.5V! In the end I hooked up my car battery charger to my BC6 charging station...it works a treat.

Guys if you ever need a adapter and you have a car battery charger use it lol...it runs at 12V (15V on multimeter) and puts out 2.0amps....a nice round figure for the lipo charging station to play with (and some room for error and adjustment etc). I wouldn't hook it up to your little balancer though lol....only the charging stations!!!

Hmm I think I may have hijacked the thread oops lol!

Status: offline 		Hey all! This thread seems to have died over the last couple days

I got all my spare parts today for my 22E and Belt CP! I'll get straight onto repairs when I get home from work and hopefully I'll be flying in the morning! Time flies: I haven't flown in nearly 3 weeks but I've been on the simulators every night which has really helped my cross-over issues I had with proper flying. How many of you are still try to avoid flying nose-in or am I the only one

Well guys I don't wanna jinx myself now, but, stay tuned for some spectacular crashes (as I try to do some nose ins and side-to-side flights) haha!

Cheers,
Tom

PS - what other materials, apart from aluminium pipe and CF, have you used to extend the 22E's tail boom???

Status: offline 		nothing yet.. maybe I missed that part... how much extention to the boom and what will that accomplish? I know its to make the gyro more stable, but will it prevent the Heli from wandering to the left.. (tail right) I have all but given up solving this issue..
