Call the AMA and they'll fax it to you as well.

Where is the Irvine field anyway? If someone can PM me with directions, I'd appreciate it. I've got my scaler re-geared and want to try it out now.

They'll accept a valid wallet-size 2008 AMA card, right? My sig has my AMA #, and it seems to be a pretty low number compared to many I've seen.

Yes the AMA card is all that is needed.

anyone in mood for rain flying :)

[TomSardea]

Need some advice...

I havent flown for a few months and Im getting rusty.
After 4mins run time slight power loss occurs everytime I hit full throttle/collective is it normal?, should I use a smaller pinion to have a more consistent runs?, or use a bigger capacity lipo or higher C rating?

Thanks!!

welcome back tom, is the lipo new or has it been sitting for a while? you may have to cycle it a few times. was lipo cold from being in your car or garage before use?

[TomSardea]

at room temp and yes i think its a little cold.

[TomSardea]

btw, the slight power loss that im talking about is just around 10% not to much.

[Airboss]

finless and me have been cycling bateries to help bring them back . and it works. we had some lipos that didnt have any power after about 2m, so i began to charge and discharge them every weekend and about 4 - 5 cycles later they come back to life. just dont get them too hot and they will be ok. what you flying??

Did anybody fly Irvine this afternoon?
Left my starter behind on the field this mourning and when I noticed I didn’t pick it up I went back again this evening and it was gone.
If anybody found a starter please let me know.
Thanks,
