RE: My first helicopter

On ebay there's a bunch of Honey Bee CP2s... some for $114 and $40 shipping. Seems a much better deal than the one you listed.

I'm actually only looking now for my first chopper after a bunch...

RE: GWS ME109 BATTERY RECCOMENDATION?

Thanks Clively, very helpful. I'd like to say I've got it worked out, but the weather has been pretty poor for testing... so... I'm only hoping here. I asked in another thread about charging rates...

RE: Is my charger the problem?

I'm using the 300e now.

Hmmm... maybe I should hold off on the doom and gloom. Tonight when I charged the 9.6V and put it in, it did get all the way up on the throttle but I'm afraid I'll annoy...

Is my charger the problem?

RE: GWS ME109 BATTERY RECCOMENDATION?

Haha, "hop up" nothing... I just want it to run for long enough to get off the ground once. I'll check the article out anyway though (did you mean 2003?), I really like that mag.

I can run the...

RE: GWS ME109 BATTERY RECCOMENDATION?

UGH!

OK, so, just got a new ICS-300E controller, and a 9.6v700mAh NiMH battery pack. (to refresh memory this is on a GWS speed 300 motor).

I charge the battery @ 1 amp until it swaps to...

RE: GWS ME-109

I'm *far* from an expert but I made a mark 60cm back in the center, and then 2 small marks about 2 inches out from that on either side to use as points to balance on. I didn't take the wing's...

RE: GWS ME-109

If you're slapping in a motor I'd reccomend going with the 400 speed. The two I've built have ended up heavier in the tail, and the extra heft up front is about right to balance it out. You'll need...

RE: GWS Zero

Is there ever a drawback to using a larger ESC? They all seem to be pretty light, and priced similarly, why not default to the larger ICS-300E instead of the 100E?

RE: GWS ME109 BATTERY RECCOMENDATION?

Do the other GWS warplanes tend to be tail heavy? I suppose the 400 motor would help counter that, but with the 300 I'm just making the problem worse by having a lighter battery up front. Looks...

RE: GWS ME109 BATTERY RECCOMENDATION?

Excellent Scott, looks like a great place to grab one!

Looks like I'll grab an 8-cell Ni-MH 9.6V - 700mAh JST off there.

Currently I have a GWS ICS-100E 5 amp ESC, with that battery should...

RE: GWS ME109 BATTERY RECCOMENDATION?

Man, still lost here.

The world of power sources is making my head swim! Anyone got a good FAQ with layman interpretations of battery specs?

Can I use a 9.6V with my speed 300 motor or do...

I suppose something else I'm contending with is that the plane is pretty much balanced right now with the current battery... if I end up with a lighter battery, what's the best way to...

I've assembled a GWS ME109 (2 actually, but I won't go into that as weight conscious as possible, but it's still coming in at 15 ounces... about 1/2 an ounce heavier than reccomended in the manual,...
