Just spotted this thread and was amazed. Elie you're bad. Looking forward to seeing that puppy fly this summer. Maybe I could get you to tow up one of my 42%'s. Way to go

Will you bring it to any of the Huckfests?

MadDog Joe
MadDog, I will bring it to the Ohio Huckfest and to the CT Huckfest for sure as long as it is around, as for the Chicago One, I am planing to take flight to that event and will only have a 40% there.

Just a rough calculation I did which may not turn to be very accurate but I think depending on the speed of the plane and how you fly it, you will be using 1600-2000 mah per flight. PB Royal discharges each battery equally. You can have a spike of 30-40 amps if you perform your snap-a-saurus maneuver.

I’d say you can get 4-5 flights before recharging maybe even more. You can charge those batteries at 10 amps if you have TP charger that goes up that much and a good power source!

I also suggest that you buy or make a pig tail connector from Dean to Multiplex so anytime you want to recharge, you don’t pull the multiplex connector off the Royal!

Good luck, I may see you at the Nall. You know my number if you needed any help at all

Reza, thanks I will be in touch.

WrongWay, I am cosidering the A123 as well as the LIMN, not sure what adavantages each One has over the other.

BTW,
Elie it seems that your better half is pretty understanding of your hobby. So if I pm you my number, can you have your wife call my wife to talk her into letting me get a 60%er? Because when I told my wife I wanted one she told me to go somewhere.


Shawn
Shawn, not really, I paid my dues the day the boxes arrived and have been paying ever since, hope she forgets soon.
