RE: CX2 & the DX7

Thanks Mike!
I'm now charging (after thrashing 2 DC supplies) at 12V 1000mAh. This charges REALLY fast

Not sure how the stock NiMH can handle it though, it gets a bit warm

. But i disconnect when reaching 11.6v.
Gonna get a LiPo for it, as i would like to be able to charge everything on one charger.

And i've ordered a new voltage regulator (Dimension Engineering) for the DX7 too, batterylife is supposed to improve big time when switching from a 5v to 3.3v (duh!) regulator

. 3.3v is the rating of the wireless transmitter, so why Spektrum throws away 1.7V....
Lets see how fast (or slow

) this part will arrive... Other parts are in 7th week now... [:@]

Bry; I haven't tried increasing the throttle limit, but i have descreased servo-travel (15% on pitch and ail) and adjusted rudder limit to my liking (heli rotates same speed both ways now) and added 20 to 35% of EXPO to make it better controlable on precision landings. But that's just my taste...
