RE: Blade CP Pro Stock "Balancing" charger question

The reason is that the blade charger is not balancing your packs is because it is not a real balance charger. It is sometimes advertised as one, but it is not. What it does is read the voltages of...

Our ultra balancer can handle up to 6s and works either with a charger or as a stand alone balancer. It is available in the charger section of our website.

RE: Battery size suggestions

Another thing you can do if you are worried about the pack being too small is make sure are your servo linkages are as friction free as possible. This can be the difference between a normal flight...

RE: ESC Throttle Issues

Most ESC's have a fixed or automatic endpoints. Does your esc list this in the features? Another option is to set the subtrim in your radio so the motor starts at a lower throttle position.

RE: Lipo

I am afraid you might be in trouble if it came out of the battery side. Unless you are very experienced with soldering and lipo construction, I would not recomend trying to fix it yourself. You...

RE: Motor-Power Question

As mentioned most motors can be used as pusher. The only ones that could not be used as a pusher would be if some reason the front bearing could not support the load.

To run it as pusher, the...

RE: How to size a brushless system for a Plane

Unfortunately there is no equation to tell you what motor/battery/prop/esc to put on your airplane. Some will recomend some amount of watts per pound (such as 150watts per pound), but really these...

RE: Winter Flying

I have never had any permanent damage on batteries because of the cold. Anywhere below about 40 degrees F or so and lipo's will start to perform poorly, but it is just while they are cold, and is...

RE: Elecrifly Balancer Connections

Electrifly uses the same plugs and wiring scheme as Common Sense RC V2 plugs along with several other manufactures. If you are looking to just buy premade adapters we have a wide variety with this...

RE: Parallel Lipo

That is very low voltage, like .7volts per cell. I doubt this pack will be recoverable and I think you would be safer just to dispose of it. Even if it is somehow recovered, the performance will be...

RE: NiCad Storage

Mrasmm is completely right. Within just a matter of weeks or months, they will be completely discharged, so it does not really matter what you leave them as. And also, storing them in a fridge is a...

RE: Battery chatter?

There is nothing wrong with your battery, the servos are just hyperactive because of all the extra voltage. Higher volts is harder on the servos, but I personally have never had one fail because of...

RE: How many watts for a 12 lb. warbird?

If you have all the setups on hand, there is no harm in trying the 6s battery pack. 100 watts per pound should still be more then enough to fly the plane, you will just have to decide if you enjoy...

RE: Parallel Lipo

Yes they will discharge at the same rate, and no you will not damagae your pack. As always though, never disharge below 3v per cell and make sure they stay in balance.

RE: convert electric to glow

In addition to the vibration, remember that fuel dissolves foam. When you land your plane might be considerably smaller or completely dissolved if you run a nitro motor on a flatout ;)

RE: External on/off switch of batteries???

In general switches that can handle enough current are too bulky for airplane use. The best way to disconnect the battery without removing the hatch is to either run the connector wires outside the...

RE: Blade cx2 gyro question. What is to much gain?

In every coaxial heli I have ever had, the trim drifts as the battery gets low, so I think that is pretty normal. Generally you want to set the gain just below the point that the tail starts to...

RE: How many watts for a 12 lb. warbird?

100-150watts per pound will give you great performance, so for a 12 lb plane that would be 1200-1800 watts to have good speed and thrust. Obviously power systems will vary from eachother, so that is...

RE: breaking in lipo's

Many manufactures have no suggestions for break in. Most of the ones that do just suggest not going to full discharge right away. If you want to be safe and get the most out of the pack, just take...

RE: NIMH Charging/LIPO for RX battery?

Lipo's are a great alternative to having a standard receiver pack. As you noted, you will need some sort of voltage regulator. This can either be a BEC or just a standard voltage regulator such as...

RE: Best battery CX2

We have 10c 800mah packs as well as 15c 700mah packs. Their dimensions are slightly different so you might have to change the mount a bit, but if you really want the extra C rating we have them. As...
