RE: Charging and balancing Life Batt with taking plane apart at Field?
Thanks for the comments guys. After using the nicd and nimh for the last couple years I just have become use to charging and checking the voltage. But I think to take full advantage of the Hobbico Life battery it should be balanced. Sure I could just charge it, but Im I getting the most out of them with out balancing them. I almost always charge at home, but still want to be able to balance at the field/charge at field.

Charging and balancing Life Batt with taking plane apart at Field?
Ok guys, love these Life Batteries, but what a pain to balance and charge at the field without taking plane apart at the field. What are the tricks? Im talking about 60 size and larger nitro and gas, not small electrics.

RE: ***CUB BROTHERHOOD***
Going to buy a cub arf, know time to build. Looks like airborne models has theirs at a good price. Would love to have the Aero works, but for that price I could buy two. Going to go with the DLE 30 even though the DL20 would power it pretty good.

Im wondering if we are looking in the wrong place. It could be the radio. What was the battery level on your transmitter.

RE: New to helicopters!
Just like Jimbo 98, I am looking to get a heli. I have flown all types of rc planes for a couple of years. I have the chance to trade one of my planes for a Raptor 30v2 or a Raptor 50. I will have to get a glub member to give me some lessons, but are the raptors 30 and 50 good products and witch one would be best for new helicopter pilot. The sound of the 50 size sounds better, would the raptor 50 be more forgiving then the 30 size? Thanks

RE: A123 or Li-Ion for a 50cc yak
Thanks for the info. The guys in my club are running A123 as well. Just like to hear what everybody else is using to. The problem with large planes is you just have to many options to pick from on what type of power system to set them up on. Meaning Batt/RX/ switches. When you put so much money in a plane you dont wont to put the wrong stuff in thier.
