Your spot on Mick , as Chris said that move 7 in the C sequence . On centre
at bottom height , no where to hide . I cant see how they are going to be
able to controll their air space . Some of the figures are so complex that
you going to chew a lot of air just to get threw them . Also have a think
about the fuel , most of these move require a lot of power and you have
to get threw twice . Your going to need 80 oz of juice just to do the flights .

Stu, the DA 170 is breezing through 2 sequences here, will use more fuel in Tucson because of the altitude, but as TAS is single sequences, fuel wont be an issue.

Another great practice day here today, absolutely blowing its arze off, but made some improvements none the less, and wind correction is always good practice! Even managed to show Chris how to do something, never done that before, and probably never will again, but it sure felt good!

Here is the discharge curves from one of my booma packs. They really do just stop giving all of a sudden, so counting mAh is really to only way to keep track of what's left in the pack.

Good to hear you only do the one , the 170 would have to be diesel to
get through all of those twice in a row .

I'll take the sequences out to the field tomorrow and have a slash at
the known A . Tried a couple of times on the sim but I seem to have a couple
of proplems , no skill and a lack of talent . If I can pick up in those areas
I might have a shot .

Ahhh come on Chris thats easy. Ohh hang on you meant invitational not sportsman. Good luck with that. I'm sure with your abilities you will do it fine.

Thanks for that Rusty , if the guys insist on using volt meters then the
alarm bells shoul go off at 6.0V . Fly below that and you will be in the
ground in no time .

I see youe capicity is at about 1900mAh at the moment . Mine were close
to that for the first few cycles but with time they will get closer to 2100 .
I have up'd the C rate the last few times and the batts are taking in more .

I'll give them a cycle on Sunday night and post the new results .

Stu

[RustyTumbles]

Yeah that one just took 2045mAh at 1Amp. Next cycle I'll bump it up to 1.5A.
