9CAP ^ Lipos

I expect this has been asked before!

Can I power my 9CAP with a 3s Lipo?

RE: Battery life?

That's the rule of thumb I follow. When the capacity starts to decay it soon goes under the 80% point though. That's 80% of the pack's original capacity, which might be more or less than the...

RE: Carbon Fiber causing radio glitches?

Carbon fibre signal shielding is somewhat unpredictable. I have an all wood glider and replaced the balsa push rod with a carbon rod. Thankfully I range checked it and found I had vey little range...

RE: Programming 9C

I finally got this figured! I had +ve movement set in the flap to aileron mix and as it was only set to move one way it didn't move at all. On chaging to -ve movement the ailerons now go down with...

Programming 9C

I had my 4 servo wing glider set up as I wanted, so I know it can work the way I want it! For one reason or another I had to reprogramme the beast. I'm using glider Glid(2flp) set up, as before.

RE: How does the cold affect a rx

Cold certainly effects capacity. Leave them overnight in the cold, fly in the cold - certainly the available capacity will be noticeably reduced. Best charged in the warm and kept warm until flying.

RE: Should PCM be twitching like crazy?

And it should be added that only a Futaba PCM Rx will work with a Futaba Transmitter! PPM Rx of most manufacturers will work with the Futaba Tx.

RE: Best Rechargeable AA batteries?

Sanyo AA have been top notch for a long time. GP have worked well for me too. Now, if I could find a long lasting AAA cell that met it's full specification, I'd say so! You may gather I have a...

RE: New to NiMH,need help!

Not in the same sense that Lipos need to be balanced but peak detection chargers stop charging when the total pack voltage reaches the set voltage. With new or tired cells some may be a little up and...

RE: New to NiMH,need help!

NiMh cells in a battery get out of balance and are often out of balance when supplied new. Not all cells charge and discharge at exactly the same rate. When they are out of balance and you use a peak...

RE: Charging new 1100 nicad pack

SearchMan,

The first couple of charges should be slow, as above, to balance the cells but you can certainly charge faster after that. I'd limit it to 1C (1.1 Amp) if you are caught out needing a...

RE: Futaba 9c radios and their color

My 'silver' 9C is the same colour as the one in the photo. Maybe in the evening sunlight it has a 'golden' hue to it. It was a non super, bought in England a year after the 9C was launched for about...

RE: Futaba 9c radios and their color

Not sure about the colour. Mine is silver.

The programming is the same on all 9C tx's. The heli version differs from the acro version in as much as where one or two of the switches are located....

RE: Charging time.

You don't say whether the batteries are NiCd or NiMh.

You say they used 200 mA in 30 minutes (400mA/hr), so this is a start to answering your question. I'd do this 'test' 2 or 3 times and if you...

RE: How long till Ni-Cad's are dead?

I'm surprised. Good quality NiCds are robust. How did you cyle them - with a form charge @ 1/10th C on a non peak detection charger?
There are some c**p cells around in the UK though - often...

A constant decline in capacity with cycling is typical of Ni-MH, no matter who the cell manufacturer is or who assembles them into packs. Some are worse than others.
