LoTom,

I have two Orbit chargers, one a Luxury which has a 6 amp max charging current. The other is a Pro, which can charge at 8 amps. After a flight, I hook the two packs up to the Orbits set at 6 amp charge current. I'm using a 130 amp 12 volt deep-cycle marine battery for the source power. I really need a second one of those.

In about 30-40 minutes the packs are charged enough to fly again. I cuurently have two packs, so I'm flying while the other is charging.

Mike M,

I tried a 21-14 yesterday. It flew OK, a little faster in level flight. But the vertical, while still very good, was not as solid feeling as with the 22-12. Also, the downline braking was not as good. Right now I'm happier with the 22-12. I flew in some decent crosswind yesterday and the 22-12 set-up still worked very well.
