Status: offline 		I bought them from [url]www.nwhobbies.com,[/url] I dont think there on the sight yet, but you can call them, they have some in stock, either go for the 880mah or the 1020 mah. They will build them for you free of charger,they work far better than nimh and alot lighter........ Ill try to post a link with the batteries.

Status: offline 		Steve: I am getting about 9-10 minutes on my 600mA/H packs as shipped with the Feda/HummingBird. All stock standard. I was playing in the wind this morning and almost dumped the Feda on it's side on the asphalt road. Blades hit the deck. Went over had a look and kept flying. Last night I hit a bookshelf (and almost cleaned up the wifes $x,000 crystal collection!) again it just went plop on the floor and I moved it to a clear spot and kept flying. Pretty tough..

What type of charger are you using for your Poly packs and how long does it take to charge? I'm new at Poly technology, I use aTekin digital charger for my NiMH... I doubt it will be able to charge the newer stuff.

Thanks,
Randal

Could you provide some details around the proper setup on the CSM HLG 200 HH gyro?

I utilized your configuration and ordered similar parts for my Hummingbird. Looking to utilize your applied knoledge for this setup.

THANKS...

Brian

Where the diagram shows a BL motor controller just substitute the GWS main motor controller.

Status: offline 		does anyone know what is wrong when i balanced my skylark and it still wobles when its in the air and how do i balance the main blades when they are free to twist, how would do it? and if the battery wasnt super solidly atached to the helicopter would it wobble because of that? Thanks.

It's possible that if the battery is really loose then it could start shaking , making the wobble worse etc etc..

Status: offline 		Just wanted to give a big thanks to you all. I was able to aquire an abundance of information on these forums and finally placed my order.

FYI: These Helis are in high demand and are a bit hard to find!!!

Jeremy over at NorthWest Hobbies ( [url]www.nwhobbies.com[/url]) still had a kit and a combo in stock. Jeremy is a pleasure to work with and provided an excellent deal to get me started!!! You would be making a wise choice giving him a call if you are in the market for a heli.

NEXTUP:

Assembly and 1st flight!! I can't wait...


Thanks Again...
