The Official SCHC thread

I should have guessed 6S. ;)

[BerndM]

When you wire batteries in parallel, ie 3s 2200mAh, into a 6s2p, will it have the same power as a regular 6s1p 2200mAh pack?
When you hook battery packs up in PARALLEL, that is, positive to positive and negative to negative, you double the MAH only. So 2 - 11.1 Volt 2200MAH packs in parallel would now be a 11.1 Volt - 4400MAH pack. The voltage stays the same.
When you hook up two battery packs in SERIES, that is Positive to Negative, you double the VOLTAGE but the MAH stays the same, so 2 - 11.1V 2200MAH packs would now be 22.2Volts but still 2200MAH

Hi bob, any chance of a comparisom at some point later between the Trex 500 & the swift in all 3 battery configerations? Not for this thread but somewhere. Thanks

[HeliSmith]

I found an awesome place to fly my son just showed me. Off of Soledad road there's a bike trail with dirt flats to fly over. Unfortunately there are nothing but rocky dirt to crash into but it's close and no one is around!

Found out my son has been exploring. Not sure to be happy or mad. lol

you should asked him to comparison trex 500 - quick8 Japan or lepton/ swift - logo 10-500 or hurrican man.

the 2 heli you asked are in 2 different classes. 400 mm (500 motor size) and 500 mm (30 engr size)

Hey ******, where'd you purchase your little walkera 4#3? I need something for those rainy days :) And, I can't find the thing @ any of my regular heli sites.

edit: nevermind :)

Vic finds some pretty weird places to buy at. I found this site http://www.toy-easy.com/walkera-dragonfly-43-4ch-rc-helicopter-rtf-p-1536.html?currency=USD

Wow, the Raptor 90 is impressive , BIG bird!

Went to the Basin today and Bert helped me out with it, got one flight in and I needed to charge the battery, for my peace of mind, it was probably fine but I didn't want to chance it and
Bert didn't have the time to wait around.

The engine isn't running quite right, not sure if it's plumbed right. haven't found a manual for it on line, I've looked and will look again but didn't find one the other night. OS91 C spec w/pump.

It is simply amazing, WOW! HOLY EF!


It was windy as hell at the Basin and I flew the HackeRex once, got a bit dicey and I set it down using throttle hold, forgot to take it out of idle up and flipped the throttle hold off to take off again and it smoked the ESC. Hacker ESC in the trash can. I'm going to use the otter esc with the bec and see if it works on the Hacker. I've got the Scorpion almost rebuilt and should have it ready for tomorrow..

[HeliSmith]

Nice Mitch getting Bert to help you even for a second is huge. Glad to hear you didn't crash that wind was off the scale here. I flip thold off with idle up on all the time. This will fry your ESC? News to me.

[Lota Fun R]

I thought the same thing. Musta done something wrong???:confused:


Throttle/collective in low position, Idle up on Idle1, flip throttle hold to off, motor trys to spin up to full speed upon flipping switch.....? dunno

Tank tube to header, header tube to filter, filter to carb.

Other tube from pipe to tank.

[Lota Fun R]

It has a pump Vic.

I did find the info I needed and I have it hooked up right, must not have the fine tunning right.

It's got a TON O POWER! Airboss said it only has 2.9hp and everywhere I read says 3.1 hp....

All I can say is that I'm glad I got the 90, wasn't at first but I am now, WOW!


did I say WOW!? Holy efin F! It's a big bird and I can't wait. It is super responsive, way more so than I expected, but then again, I DID put in the best I could afford....WOW! :thumbup::):YeaBaby:;):rolling

[Lota Fun R]

wow!

:)

[Long Nguyen]

Congrats Mitch! I'm glad to hear that you love it. Did I tell you that you would love it?

My Synergy N9 is about to ready soon. The crash cost is much lower than I thought and I think I can bring it to Vietnam and fly there.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year guys!!! See all you guys at the funfly in Feb.

[Lota Fun R]

Great news Long, I was bummed for you but now ;........very cool. :thumbup::YeaBaby:

Hey Jason! Give me a call if you want to fly/help me with my Raptor tomorrow, it needs some fine tuning.

I can't believe how responsive it is! I did set it up to be an animal but I didn't expect it to be this fast cyclic wise....WOW!:)
