Howdy!
Got some new FP 10s 3700's and I want to take care of them. What do you guys do to optimize peformance, especially in the first few duty cycles?
Thanks!

The normal recommendation is hover only, about half the normal time for 3 to 5 cycles.
Some also say, fly them like you plan on flying them.
I figure that treating them gently the first few cycles can't hurt.

We do about 10 flights, nothing too extreme and discharge to about 50% capacity.

As we type, I'm soldering on 5.5 mm Neu connectors on our 1515/2.5D/F and CC HV-85. :) :thumbup:

aight, i thought i was nuts using the neu 5.5mm bullets. good to know i'm not the only one going overkill on connectors. i figure better to be too big then too small. how many cells can that hv-85 take? i've got the cc pheonix 60 (not hv) and i was surprised to see that the max was 6 cells lipo. i need to really read more on things before i buy them i guess. what would happen if i plugged in 8 cells? meltdown? probably nothing?

Yep, Neu connectors are "The" connectors to have.....great fit!
HV-85 is good for 50 Volts....12S.
