Lol! That one had me laughing, I am in good mood 'cause India have won one day test series and I've had a good haricut for once.

I'm gonna search sofas and stuff 'cause my bike has come upto £260 and thats all in bits....But I have a friend who will assemble for free.

But thats drifting off topics soooo....

See you all at Sandown!

Oh and by the way, I would love a frog or something in my Capiche like Luke. So I am going to do a search around but I doubt and hope I will get the one with the look that Luke has.

He's still going strong, just not in a plane any more[&:]. Perhaps I'll put him in my wildstyle, and see if he can crash that too[:@]

Definately support the increase use of cartoon characters and fury animals .

Right I'm done for now. Off to New York tomorrow back on tuesday. You all behave yourselves while I'm away, and not posting of junk (ed) as I have to read it all when I get back [X(].

hahahahahaha, me likey!

The Boy - i will have one of them clown pilots Archie, i will paint it grey and call it jongourly

LOL !

yes very good Boy !

Those extreme pilots look like the village people....they look a right bunch of chutney ferret's

I always wondered what a chutney ferret looked like.. now I guess I know !

What do you get if you take a Capiche 50 e, which ways a little over 6lbs with flight battery on board, and swap the battery for one that it 22 ounces lighter, for similar performance specification...

Archie your going all electric on us

let me guess a 5 pound 10 oz Capiche E that flies a lot better ?

Ultimate... I said 50e - its already electric....

You didnt major in Maths then !!

LOL and bollox !

couldnt have got that more wrong if I tried !

22oz is an impressive weight saving

Arch....where is your Li-po stock coming from? Are they slimline packs like the Bishops style? (But without the 3 month wait!!!! MEOWWW)

Slim packs yes.. working on a couple of suppliers..... no info yet...

3 month wait - hopefully not... will know more in a week or so...

That said, JP are starting to do LiPos now for the indoor stuff so I might just order from there...less hassle and probably similar money..
22oz indeed - its all in the chemistry !

And thank fully the solution is gonna be less than half the original cost estimate (£260+ trade which is not a practical customer solution obviously).

Lets see... My YS powered C50 after a years hard service and patching up etc weights 5lbs dry. What does 9 fl oz of fuel weigh roughly?

50e with the new battery should weigh approx 4lb 14oz.

where did the boy get this C50 packs from? did he just buy 90 cells then solder them together himself? what lipos you got archie (Series paralel)?

90 cells!!!

Well, now where do you get a 90 cell charger? What kind of voltage does that give?

errr C140 eddy.......

eh, i know its the C140 that had the 90 cells. Im just wondering if he had to solder up all the packs.

Zep, 10s9p. you only need a 10 cell charger

Ian

Ah, I see, so thats another advantage to the Li-Pos then.

edd. 9s 10p you only need a nine cell charger, as for soldering you cant just solder lipos together, you WILL set your house on fire, buy the packs ready made (thats an order!!)

i wasnt asking about the charger. I will buy the packs made for me, i dont even trust myself. Im asking did you have to solder all those packs, or did you buy it on special order?

I think he was telling Edible in particular not to solder them. All my packs are self assembled, the cells have metal tabs which you solder to. You have to be very careful as they are fragile as anything, the tabs don't take much abuse before breaking off and too much heat will break the seal, potentially resulting in a fire.

Out of 20 odd packs only half were preassembled and they were later partially stripped to allow cell balancing.

It can't be stated enough however that unless you are fully confident about what you are doing you should buy pre assembled packs only.

your right, i have soldered literly hundreds of cells together, its not for the faint hearted. problem is cell balancing. the 340s are fine if assembled from new and are not shorted when soldering, as they come from the factory balanced within .03 of a volt. the 1500 on the other hand are miles out when they arive and it can take up to two hours to asemble a S/P pack. Eddy, dont listen to anyone unless they tel you to buy ONLY propper packs and charge them very carefully. you WILL burn your house down i promise

this advice is only aimed at the EDible, the rest of you are old and ugly enough to do it right.

I am not old. Well I don't like soldering that much anyway, I always need a third hand!

How was your flying today Boy?

I hardly got any in dammit!

No PC9 flying!

Just a crashed Mirage.

you wont be wanting those 2 sd's anymore then
