RE: new to charging
guess, if its a NEW pack you need to slow charge it for the first few cycles...... AFTER that then you can charge it at 1C or 3 amps if you would like.... but i always charge them a bit slower (like 1.5 amps) than that for longevity of the packs, so they last longer... bass

RE: ElectroStik
hi, i have had mine for a almost 2 years and love it it flies great and does most everything i ask of it...... its a great deal over all BUT when i got mine 2 of the servos were stripped so 1 call to tower and they sent me 3 new hobbico servos to replace the electrifly ones that had stripped. just make sure you cycle the servos right and way and stress test them good before you fly.. (unless they updated servos) have fun and enjoy it.... its a great little big plane ;) bass

RE: 2- vs. 3-blade prop
chris, i have a H9 B-25 that uses 2 monster power 46 motors and the prop suggestion is 13x8 for 2 blade, with that prop im pulling 54 amps static on 4s packs. switched the prop to a 3 blade MA 12x8 and im getting 53 amps with it. the typical thing going from 2 blade to 3 blade prop is drop down in diam or pitch by 1 inch i believe. someone correct me if im remembering wrong. otherwise the props both give close to the same watts . bass

lexam, i just came across this thread and was wondering how it's going with this engine ? and if you wouldnt mind answering a few questions for me ? [:D] first, what size tanks are you using to get 14 minutes flight time ? second, i am thinking about running a pair of these in a H9 B-25 and was wondering if you feel they have the same or more power than the evo NT .36's glow engines ? and last how much time are you getting with the batterie for the ignitions ? thanks. bass

RE: Lipo charging...
neece, a fully charged 7.4 volt lipo pack will be right around 8.4 volts. remember that the 7.4 is the nominal voltage of the pack. an 11.1 volt lipo will be fully charged at about 12.6 volts or 4.2 volts per cell in the pack. hope this helps a little. bass

RE: Hot engine
also remember that while running engines on the test stands or planes that are tied down, they wont get enough airflow over the engine to cool them compaired to in the air...... so always run them only for short times and keep an eye on the temps. bass

RE: Tactic ttx404 2.4 ghz radio
mike, thanks for the reply, does the rx have a single antenna or double ? also when do you think the review will be done ? would love to see it in action :) . plus i am a little worried as they say a full range rx but looks to only have 1 antenna. so hoping it passes your review. like i said i have several planes (4 channel) that need radios or should say that i want to change to 2.4 ghz just cant afford another higher end radio at this time so for the price they will work well for my needs. bass

RE: Tactic ttx404 2.4 ghz radio
thx for the replies, part of the thing is that my 7 c model memory is about full so im looking for other options (cheaper) that wont cost as much as another 7c. on a fixed income so 79.99 is a good deal for me if the tactic is a good working system. so if ANYONE WHO HAS tried this radio can give me some input it would be greatly appreciated. thanks again bass

Tactic ttx404 2.4 ghz radio
hello, radio link= http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXYWM9&P=0 just wondering if these radios are any good ? im looking for just basic 4 channel 2.4 ghz radios for a couple of planes. i have a futaba 2.4 7c for my bigger planes but if this radio works well for 79.99 its cheaper than buying new rx's for it. so if you have used this radio please let me know how it performs compaired to others out in the market thanks bass

RE: Electric Starters~Do You Use One?
hmm, seems to me theres another very good reason to use a starter..... the safety aspect of it, while flipping works well a starter helps to keep hands and fingers away if theres a slip or a back fire. i use the starter and hand flip some all depends on the engines temperment ;) bass
