I found this on amazon - I figure if I replace the connector or find an adapter I should be set:

I don't have any chargers outside of the 3.7v 1 cell chargers that usually come with the park flyers I have. This one battery is something I might, maybe, use a couple time a year so I was hoping to...

I'm currently using it in an airsoft rifle, but want to use it in a cheap R/C plane I've had for years. (Figured the LiPo might get a little extra oomph out of the can motors in it - it is a 7.4v...

I can't find a charger, so why do they sell this battery?

I bought one of these batteries https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=223486362101&_sacat=0 a while back hoping I could use it in an old R/C plane that used a 7.4v NiMh...

RE: Parzone Sukhoi Su 26m Micro

Thanks for that! I've had it sitting in a box until recently, trying to decide if I should just sell it rather than tinker with it. (It kind of bothers me I should have to fix a new plane, but...)

RE: Kyosho Minium J3 Cub review

Just as a follow up, I ended up selling this after I got tired of opening the thing to fix the new aileron servo. If the ailerons had any stress at all, they would lock-up, but instead of completly...

Parzone Sukhoi Su 26m Micro

I just got one of these second-hand from ebay and it seems to be in perfect shape. I have a question about the handeling of it, though - I am not as the box recommends, an "experienced aerobatic...

Kyosho Minium J3 Cub review

RE: CG question - 25% or 33%?

Well, I ended up trying it one more time - I fully charged the battery, put in a gearbox for the 370 motor that comes with all the Lanyu foamies, re-checked the CG, calculated the wing loading (16.26...

RE: 4 a noob, any thoughts on megatech's freedom flyer??

No.

I realize this is a very old thread, but I recently bought one of these off ebay. It had no damage, but once I put a new battery in it could, after about five attempt, get in the air with a...

Parkzone mini's and the cold

I just got done flying my Parkzone Citabria and Cessna - did I mention it's -4F outside? Apparently, according to some threads, LiPo's don't care much for the cold, which would explain why I could...

RE: AirHogs Nano Hawk (Silverlit Palm-Z)

I can't remember for sure, but I know that the rudder only works if the motor is getting power. It doesn't seem like it should have to be at full, though. I haven't flown mine in a long time, as...

RE: CG question - 25% or 33%?

Actually, the plane that I'm refering to is in photo #3. I've since re-adjusted the ailerons, and put the 370 motor with 9x 7 prop on it and it will stay airborne if I don't touch the elevator and...

RE: CG question - 25% or 33%?

Actually, I've been hand-launching because the thing won't fly at all with less than a 9x5 prop, which hits the ground because the original 180 motor only had a 7" prop.

RE: CG question - 25% or 33%?

Ok, I think I'm getting it - The numbers I prosted were for the stock plane before the additions, however. As I mentioned earlier, the actual weight is now 15 oz. SO, if I'm doing the math right, my...

RE: CG question - 25% or 33%?

Aaaaaargh! I just don't get it - I've done, theoretically, everything right with this stupid plane and I STILL can't get it to fly right. The CG, using the program, is just where it should be on the...
