    I actually quite like Arizona, but not the Metropolis areas. Bullhead City is my favorite currently. The heat has never really bothered me, the dry-ness out there is actually comfortable. It's kind of weird hearing about how your pool is AC'd. My favorite AZ weather is flash flooding and storms...

    Question? C Rating

    The only company that I can think of that has a really truthful C rated pack is ThunderPower, though I will say my big HK 6s packs have been holding pretty true to their 30c rating. I've noticed one of them has a cell that's starting to take a dump though :banghead: Who would have ever thought...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    I'm using a 24x12 Xoar PJN, static current is 76 amps, 3400 watts. That's with 30c packs, planning on upgrading to 55c packs soon here, Thunder Powers. Save some weight, get more energy out of the packs. I'm expecting to be around 80 amps and 3700 watts static with those. The system can handle...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I had the peanut gallery chime in the other day. Did a WOT knife edge pass with the Yak and all I heard behind me was "That's adorable, it would have sounded better with gas!" (it's electric). I started doing rolling loops and cubans and didn't hear much else from them from the rest of the...

    V2. Like I said I'm just going to go back to SWB. Much heavier duty arm anyways.

    Figures. Beautiful day to fly today and all I managed to do was 1 rolling loop, before my spot on servo arm stripped out. Going back to SWB arms...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It's an old Multiplex tool(makeup)box, has some dents and dings in it, but overall a 9/10 shape. I am going to need to do some more tweaks to it, I'd like to fit power jacks to the outside for 12 and 24v applications so I can close the lid during charging and use multiple chargers if need be...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Got a sweet new toolbox, fitted my power supplies (x2 12v in series for a 24v), threw all my junk in it, and am going to bring it to the field for its official first run. Did a little test run tonight, everything seems to work great.

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    I never recommend parallel charge boards. Every cell has to be at nearly the same voltage, otherwise the charger can overcharge one cell, or not fully charge another cell. This can easily create a fire situation, and single channel chargers are only designed to charge 1 pack at a time. If you...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    I don't get it... (maybe because I'm tired). Lithium creates its own oxygen when it burns, so it needs to be smothered. A Class D extinguisher is copper based so the copper inside of it basically melts to the lithium and chokes it out.

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    Not with a Class ABC. You need a Class D. Sand works better. They do not burn long at all either. It can happen, but it's becoming increasingly rare nowadays.

    Question? C Rating

    No. C rating is 1x the capacity of the pack. So for a 500mah pack, 1C is 0.5 amps. There are 1000mah in 1 amp, because a milli is 1/1000. A pack with a 30C discharge is 30x the capacity of the pack, so for a 500mah pack, that's 15 amps. Or for a 5000mah pack, that's 150 amps.

    GiantScaleNews is PROUD to Welcome Reza Gholamipour!!

    It has been well documented by Futaba's following that the 6014 receiver can handle the direct 2s 8.4v power from your packs. I have several friends at my local club that run 8.4v through them with no issues to speak of.

    Transmitter Gimbal Settings... need your thoughts!

    I like to keep my stick tension towards the minimal side and no ratchet on the throttle.

    Hopping Servos

    Sounds like it may be a defective servo then. Could you get a video of what the servo is doing? Also, how are your linkages setup? Which holes do you have them in on the servo and the control horn?
