RE: EC3 to EC5

I have about 90 flights on a H9 Stick using a E-Flite 46, Turnigy 85 amp ESC and Turnigy 4S 5000mAh batteries. I use the EC3 connectors and have never had a issue.

RE: Top Flite Cessna 182 ARF

I see you had the same result with the nosegear that I did. In fact I've had that problem on a few landings. I don't think the Robart gear likes grass landings. On my last flight the throttle linkage...

RE: Can Spectrum 2.4 bind to JR 2.4?

RE: Lipo Charger Help?!?!?!!

I think you meant to say it's a DC charger. If you don't plan on using your car battery as a power source, there are a number of places from which you can get 12V AC to DC power supplies. You might...
