When You CX/2 Guys Fly and drain one batt. do you immediately pop in the next and take off? Of course the engines heat up so the trim begins to be off a bit, So does everybody wait a bit? If so how long? If I do choose to pop in one after another is there any possible damage that can be done as a result?

I wait until the motors cool to the touch. You could wear the motors out faster if you put one battery in after another.

Well thanks. Just something I was wondering, I keep reading people saying they have 6-7 batt's Just wondering how they use them.

I pop the next one in after 5 mins, if it blows the stock motor its a great excuss to buy extreme ones

I literally fly, then read the posts for 10-20 minutes or beat the dog or do chores or whatever, but do as the book says and let the motors cool. I set the bird under a ceiling fan and let the batts cool for 20 minutes as well before charging as it tends to lengthen their life as well.

Happy flyin'

Yea, and extra heat means extra amps pulled for the added resistance; ain't worth it. The ESC gets hot too, and You will notice that in performance too if You fly pack to pack.

If You want to fly pack to pack, do what I did, scrounge up enough parts and build another one, or two, from scratch. You don't need another TX, just bind it as well.

Nice idea, Ill have to think about that one. Building sounds nice, so many things to think about, im already thinking about the blade 400, and getting me an airplane. I cant decide haha.

If I'm flying multiple packs back to back (I only have two at the moment), I wait until the first battery is cool to the touch, then stick it on the charger. Then I stick the next battery pack into my CX2. Probably takes about 10 minutes give or take for the battery to cool after full use IME.

This is exactly what I do. As soon as the drained battery is cool and ready to go on the charger, I plug it in and drop the fresh pack into the heli.
