Default FMA 10S charger

Hi all from down under. Just wondering if anyone has got or used the new FMA 10S charger.

What are FMA as a company like to deal with, being so far away I am just wondering if they are a good charger and reliable.

Hi Clive,

I do not have a 10S ..........yet

I think I can answer some of your other questions though. The reason I said "yet" is because a good group of us have been using the 4S since last season. Everyone has been happy with the product. They are a local company to me (Located in Frederick, MD USA) and I have found them very willing to answer questions and help if required. They will even let us locals call ahead and arrange to go in and pick up our orders.

They only sell directly now, as I understand it. The distribution route did not work out to their liking I suppose.

Because of the performance of the product they have sold me and my buddies, I will be going with the 10S to handle my A123 chores as well as multi LiPoly duty. Besides, Fromeco will even put the Cellpro plug on Iron Corps now, so it is even easier.

Hi JimC, Yes I have virtually sold myself one until they told me it would cost US$30 to send it to OZ, that seems quite high for postage. They don't use USPS so it costs more. Pity I will have to think on it.

Cheers
