    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    Great discussion. One of the debates that happens at our field from time to time. :) Load testing seems to be a good idea since it approximates what is happening in the air. However the Fromeco 8-ball only puts a 1 amp load on the pack. Is a 1 amp load sufficient for 50cc or larger aircraft...

    Futaba 8FG(S)

    The fine folks at Robbe don't have a problem feeding power into the S.bus. I couldn't find much in the Futaba USA docs on power. I'll talk to my buddy when I get a chance. Let me look at my bipe. IIRC, I'm powering all 7 servos via the S.bus port on my R6208SB at 6v...

    Castle Creations ESCs

    My guess is they're trying to move inventory that has piled up. In my experience you get the latest and greatest when buying direct from CC. I plan on buying a few ESC's so I'll let you know if it is old stock. :D Doug B.

    Castle Creations ESCs

    I have a number of their HV ESC's and they seem to be good now. I had no issues in the past. Very few posts lately about fire & CC HV ESC's. Eh, buy what works for you. I have Hacker, YGE and Cobra ESCs too. I'm happy with them all. Doug B.
