Home made battery charger

That will be for Lithium Ion (li-ion) batteries. It will only work for those or lithium polymers (li-polys), and they have to have the same rated voltage. Lithium batteries use a charging method that...

hitech and futaba

The receiver doesn't care what type of crystal the transmitter uses - only what kind is in the receiver. The problem is that different brands may use slightly different circuitry which requires a...

muffler mod.

That shouldn't effect it in any way, other than having to shorten the screws.

I agree, I don't have the time to wade through a huge site like that. Once these forums are gone I'm outta here.

Help in Project UAV rc helicopter

Don't underestimate the value of knowing you at least have something that flies. I spent the last few months trying to get a small electric delta (http://uavfun.tripod.com/temp/IMAGE0007.JPG) to fly....

Hand Launch

Most sailplanes with a wingspan of 60" or smaller are meant to be hand launched. There are plans for a nice looking one here http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articles/terminatorhlg/terminatorhlg.htm...

extending the batt wires

There's a HUGE difference between a speed 400 and a speed 280. (A speed 300 draws about 2x the current of a 280, a 400 even more) If you're using the same battery the motor won't be able to draw...

FLAT SPINS?

Try putting in opposite aileron more gradually instead of all at once. Also make sure it's all the way into the regular spin before you try to flatspin.

Don't forget to give yourself plenty of...

Tower Hibbies .75 - too noisy

I'm sure there are a few places you could safely launch rockets from your plane when no one else is around (it could hit you if something goes wrong, but hey, you're the one launching rockets!), but...

Whats the matter with my plane?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Are you sure it's balanced both ways (side to side and back and forth)? Hold the tail and something at the front (the motor shaft might be off center a bit because of the thrust angles) and see if it...

Battery suffixes

SC probably means sub-C which is a size. Sometimes part of the suffix refers to the size (N270AAs are AA size), sometimes there's some extra junk like AE or RC which refers to battery type. Try the...

What's the best 46 out there?

Sounds good but not very realisitic. First of all, ALL of the manufacturers would have to make that change at once. No one will want to be the first to change their numbers, since all of a sudden...

To discharge the receiver battery on a glow plane properly you basically need a special battery discharger.
Since this is an electric plane, however, you've already got one stuck on the front (or...

What's the best 46 out there?

The LA is worse actually - the backplate and needle valve bracket are plastic. I'm pretty sure they're all one piece.
Make sure the screws holding the backplate in are tight or it will leak air and...

Rubbish Turning

Try not turning so steeply. Things will happen slower; at 45 degrees it will drop like a stone unless you pull back on the elevator. That means you'll have to quickly yank it back up, and guess what,...

Crazy stuff U did to your plane

I'm sure anyone could manage it if you let them go around a couple times if they don't quite manage it at first.

Oh wait, does it matter if the plane is still flying and in one piece after it...

What's the best 46 out there?

For a trainer, probably a ball-bearing engine like the 46 FX. You could also get a racing engine but those are expensive - that's overkill anyway.

Dave's Airplane Works Sailplanes

The TG-3 is meant to be a trainer; it doesn't look complicated to me. Besides, both are EPP foam, so they'll take a lot of abuse.

Building Battery Packs

Yeah, that's probably a bit much for JSTs.

The 600-800 mAh batteries they suggest are probably NiCds. 1100 mAh NiMHs are close to the same weight as 600 mAh NiCds. Your plane should do just fine.

Building Battery Packs

JST connectors are pretty flimsy. If you're using 1100 mAh cells (HeCells?) you're probably drawing too much current for them.
