Hi, Finishing my TT Lazy Tiger I ended up nose heavy using a OS40LA and going to a 12 oz tank. Now before I add weight I slid my Rx battery back behind the servos. It was only about half of the weight shift I need. I'm using the standard Futaba Rx battry [4 cell 500 maH nicad]. could or should I double the battery useing a Y cable? Do you have problems connecting 2 Batts? The extra weight would just about do it. I could make a heavier custom pack out of AAA nimh to compensate. Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch

Greetings,

Yes, you would have charging problems with a Y cord. At this point I think it would take very little weight on the tail and that would be the easiest way to go.

BTW, a 500mah nicad is kind of behind the times as far as batteries go. A modern Nimh of the same size will be about 1600mah..... fly all day without recharging.

AAA's are lighter and smaller than AA's.

Best of luck!

did you reinforce the tail feathers? Adding the triangle stock and epoxy will add some tail weight, plus serve to strenghten that weak tail.

Hi, I did reinforced the tail feathers on top and bottom, that with moving batt pack back its almost perfect. I will fly it now to determine any final adjustments. Now if the weather would give me a break over this holiday weekend I can fly it for the first time. I ran in the new LA 40 for a couple of tanks and taxied around and it all feels well. Thanks for all your help everyone. This is a great place to turn to for advise and to share some knowlage.
