didnt this come up last year
this thread is much more friendly
so far I have installed 4 VW in my planes and there just a little extra cheap insurance at 6$ ea, got some of mine off ebay,they all jump when I put a load on them, but return to the base when I let off the sticks.
the thing I like aout them, is if I am tooling around the shop I just turn on the planes and check the charge levels, if I notice there is a low charge on one particular plane,I just hook up the charger, after sitting for a while I stumbled upon one of my planes that was really low,even if I am not flying for a bit I like to keep the batterys up, and not let them drain down too low.
a couple of examples of mounting location I put mine in the cockpit so there easy to read and not placed on the side of the plane where they can get dirty or dammaged
great examples.
Yes, this has come up a number of times before, and yes, this is a less heated discussion that some of the past ones. As long as we remember that there are always more than one way to accomplish something and present your way as a option to consider, things can reamin quite friendly. Anyway, isn't this whole hobby about fun??
