RE: Official Hobby Zone

RE: Official Hobby Zone

The 10x8 prop is not to be flown for extended periods. IE. more than 10 minutes. It's in the instructions that come with the float kit which BTW includes a 10x8 prop

RE: Official Hobby Zone

How did you drain the batteries? Taking LiPo's below 3.0v / cell is a no no, that will wreck them.

RE: Official Hobby Zone

Glenstr, I have a .20 on a 64 oz plane, so honestly that 480 is over kill in a very big & possibly bad way.

RE: Official Hobby Zone

.5 to 1.5 volts?????? how about amps. The PZ charger doesn't charge very fast and is a battery cooker. Buy something better, even the "genuine" Imax B6 is a better charger than the PZ one.

RE: Official Hobby Zone

If your plane came with the lithium polymer batteries it's meant to be propped with a 9x6. Also, the batteries last a lot longer when the cub is flown @ 1/2 -2/3rd throttle.

RE: Official Hobby Zone

If you're not in a big hurry, I'd suggest trying hobbyking - then again they now have a warehouse in the US. So that might be a good place to try.
