Nice charger set up looks good. The peg board is good idea. Do you like the I charger.
Thanks bro. Yes the peg board works great. Allows for airflow to the power supplies underneath and makes it easy attach balance boards using zip ties.

As for the iCharger, time will tell, but so so far so good.

I have no idea why some of those loaded twice... sorry :(
The Powerbox Competition I bought is one of the coolest pieces of equipment I have owned. I set my servo centers with my hitec programmer but got my servos matched absolutely spot on with the powerbox. Very easy once I got the jist of it. Are those hangar 9 things you have hooked up, programmers?

Thanks, I programmed the centers with the PowerBox as well. Those are just meters for amps or volts... I set them to Amps to check draw and make sure the servos aren't fighting. I am glad you are happy with the PowerBox because I have another of these to add to my Slick and a new one with the remote screen and 4 regulators for my new Demonstrator build. Only one guy I know around here uses them and he swears by them.

I did not have enough channels with the A9 to comfortably set up mine. The powerbox really simplified it. The remote screen would be cool. Post pictures when it is done.

It's a handy piece of equipment to have, especially for matching multiple servos on a surface. Makes your servos last a lot longer!

@pawnshopmike Nice! I like!!

We were also struck with LOTS of wind yesterday, and plenty of rain. We actually had a tornado warning inland, with reported water spout activity off the coast :oblong: :eek: Plenty of shop and home work was done.

I managed to cut two pieces of red monocote for the turtle deck wrong. One too short, one too narrow. Since it takes almost a full roll in length, that left me out of tries until I get two more rolls of red monocote. Tower order shows out for delivery today so maybe I'll get a third chance at getting it right. This time, no cutting. I'm going to lay the whole damn roll up there and start tacking it down.

I did manage to get the wings mostly covered though and the white on the fuse. I'm still debating the covering scheme in my mind so I'm just getting the basics down while I ponder that one. Red wingtips and leading edge is a go though no matter what else I do.
