    Discussion powerlab 6 & 8

    So a question I have about either the PowerLab 6 or 8 is if you are already using a iCharger and have a gaggle of cables will they still work on the 6 or 8? The was I am thinking is they just have a 6 or 8 balance tap output and I don't know what version plug that is but they do give your (or...

    Discussion powerlab 6 & 8

    Two 3S 2200's at 2C you are not even breaking a sweat for your PS and charger. I don't get 38A however I see it as 11A @ 12v. The second calculator ( "what kind of power supply do I need to charge my LiPo at a current I specify") to determine the PS,

    Extreme Flight 60" Edge 540T Assembly

    Okay I took a stab at mounting the ESC under the battery tray on the right side so basically the ESC lead comes up in the same spot. I think I like this better as the battery has air passage on all side now (but the bottom) and same with the ESC. One mor inch of ESC battery wire would have...

    Extreme Flight 60" Edge 540T Assembly

    Well I setup the surface travels today using the paper protractors as shown in post 30 and it was very easy to do and looks like I might have a new method. I liked the ability to that they were all available to test basically at the same time.

    measuring throws, incidence, and others

    I saw something someone posted and I lost the link so I cannot give proper credit to them (sorry) for this. Very simple and costs basically nothing. Below is a file for a protractor that has been re-done to be used for RC. I brought this into Adobe Illustrator to have better control of the...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Also how about your servo gears how do they hold up to crashes? When I flew TRex's when they first came out it was with plastic gears and every rotor strick seemed to need gears.

    Build Log Crude Bulb discharger

    I was sharing this on RCG and though some might benefit from it here. I not only hate how slow the discharge mode is on chargers and from what I hear are not good for the charger with the high heat build up I tried this out as I had the bulbs and wow it works great. It is based on the fact...

    A single will run it but you won't be able to charge at 30A for parallel charging which is the blessing of having a large charge capacity. Yes 756w is required but now you need to find the charger input to do so for 30A. Power supplies are basically 80% efficient so Watts (ps) = Watts (out)/.8...
