RE: GREAT PLANES FLATOUTS
nitro125 As a general rule if you charger is puting out 650ma then it will roughly charge a flat 650mah battery in one hour i.e 650mah is milli amps per hour . you do need to be carefull charging a Li-poly Battery do NOT charge at a rate higher that the mah rating e.g. you have a 650mah battery never charge at higher than 650mah as the battery can explode !! ..
As for my thoughts on the flat out foamies .. mine is on its way from Tower Hobbies and i cant wait !!! I havent built one or seen one is Australia yet but as for all ARF planes you get what you pay for ..
I guess some people sould be given a plan and a box of balsa and build a few from scatch to learn how its done .. ARF's are good and i have had a few but i can also build a 1/4 scale pitts special from a plan No instruction book.
