    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    Here's a good guide that covers parallel charging really well. It's good to understand what is happening so nothing get's overcharged or melted:) http://www.tjinguytech.com/charging-how-tos/parallel-charging If all you'll ever do is charge receiver packs a 250-300 watt 10-20 amp iCharger with...

    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    I don't think the parallel charging causes them to go out of balance. They just balance themselves so quickly you won't notice weak cells. Those big Cellpros have 1 amp balance circuits so they also balance quicker than most chargers. If you have e.g. 6 packs hooked up in parallel it will be...

    Battery Charger Recommendation

    There should be a lipo storage setting as one of the factory preset options. It's option six on my cellpro..it does only work if the voltage is below storage voltage.

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    Things will be fairly convoluted for new members when we need to tell them they need to get an FAA number to give to the AMA where they'll get their AMA number they need to put on their club application.

    Question - EHME 1.85 Ultimate Biplane

    The instructions being in German isn't really a huge deal because even if they were in English they wouldn't tell you much anyway. They're pretty sparse. The main thing is knowing what size balsa sticks to use in each step. The good news is the pictures they include are great and the kit is...

    Basic engine tuning.

    In the course of trying to dial in my little OS 33 I noticed in almost every example on the forums, a rear carb engine changing tune with orientation/gforces in flight the orientation corresponds with the position of the diaphragm plate. Outside of unbaffled yaks I'm not sure I found an example...

    How to charge two, two cell packs in a plane.

    There are a ton of diagrams for both serial and parallel charging out there on google. If you have any doubt about soldering up your own harness purchase this: http://www.buddyrc.com/2s-xh-twins-charge-adapter.html The charger will see it as a single 4s pack because it will be wired exactly...

    New ZDZ112 B2RV / Installation into PAU Edge 540

    That's how my OS was, gobs of compression new. Haven't put a prop on the ZDZ yet, but it's tough to turn it over without leverage.

    New ZDZ112 B2RV / Installation into PAU Edge 540

    Engine sounds great, looks like it has plenty of pull and it spools that prop like it's nothing. Were you running the Falcon 28x9? I'm leaning towards trying a 28x9.5. I know the guys up North like that prop and the 28x9w.

    Yeah, lenses are the same as planes, they all do the same basic thing, but the subtle differences can justify a big outlay for more!

    Prop database.

    So are you manually approving submissions? If so wow, that's nice of you to screen data coming in. The process is intuitive. Looks really nice. Will the underlying data be view-able/expandable or just the average? I've got an oddball issue with my submission. The stock OS 33 muffler...
