Workshop is coming together, but will be a while until it’s fully functional for building model airplanes.
Makes a nice spot for drinking morning coffee though.

Not long and it will be ready to build planes. Looking good. My friend and are still standing on the side lines dying to get started on his barn. Checked it yesterday and the foundation around the perimeter which is 4 ft deep is still a block of ice, will still be a couple of weeks before we can get going.

I change out my batteries every other year, no matter what they say. So my answer would be no I would not use them.

Well gentleman you were both correct did a little more playing around with the pack. Purchased a good IR a while back but can read the numbers but what does it really mean and when is it good or bad. But anyway I am now a little and I repeat just a little smarter. Did a number of tests with various packs with different IR numbers and loaded the batteries from 100 Amps down to 10 Amps well it was quite clear that the old pack had to go it was useless. On a 15 Amp load the old battery drop just over 1 volt more than the good packs. That is a lot so now I am getting a handle on this IR meter so when the IR numbers change and by how much they will be trashed.

Got some performance testing done on the Graphene Panther 75C packs @Snoopy1 . Made a short vid and it's uploading now.
All the mods worked extremely well just as the batteries did. It flies way better now almost like the QQ Cap 232 .

Being new batteries and not "broke in" I kept my flights at 6 minutes. This left the packs with about 60% remaining so I am thinking 8-10 minute flights are very doable . Extreme power bursts were always available throughout my flights .

Sorry but my internet connection won't allow a timely vid upload. So here is a KE pass short...

Dang, 8-10 min flights is heavenly. Very impressive with agility also.

Ok all I know it is a boat but would someone give a short discretion of what a Cracker is.
