Way to go Dag ! I got to see this once in a life time beauty fly. And I'll bet it will fly very well indeed. Keep on keepin on !

Wow. You have yet another fan. Just spent 3 hours sitting in my hotel room, staring at your build thread.

Been in Long Beach all week so sorry for no updates.

But............. When I got home I had some cool toys waiting for me.....................

This is with out a doubt the coolest set-up I have owned for charging my batteries....

With my Feathermerchant power-supplies, and my new I Chargers I can charge 2 sets of 4 each 5 cells at 30 amps (or about a 1000 watts per charger).

Both Feathermerchant and Dave at Progressive RC are possibly 2 of the greatest people I have worked with, the costumer service is 110% out of sight.......

Rock on!!!!!


DAG

Awesome setup. Thanks for the update.

I couldn't agree more! Are you planning to run those supplies off a couple generators? Just wondering what you're doing for power, as I've often wondered what I would do with another 24v power supply setup.

My Honda EU2000i generator out-puts 1600 watts continuous so 1600 watts is max for both chargers. 2000 watts is the max I need for both. But if I can swing it I plan on getting another Honda EU2000i spring of 2013. My budget is so tight for this year I can't swing it, just to get to SEFF and back is going to cost $600.00 in gas so the extra generator wont happen this year.

I am piece by piece getting a cool system put together........

Sounds like a good plan. I'd forgotten that you were charging 5 cells, so you don't need an insane amount of watts for those packs/chargers, sounds like it'll work perfect.

Ok, back to watching this awesome build

I have been using the same i-charger for over a year now and I like it !

She is looking more like a peace maker.......

And FYI.... I will have the entire B-36 at SEFF...... Not ready to fly, but airframe, jet pods and all.

DAG

man stunning.... wow. thank you yet again for sharing this with us.

Pssst, you built it upside down.

How many pounds of wire will it carry? May I suggest you have a Halon fire extinguisher nearby for the maiden, just in case.

may i also suggest a resuscitation machine near by when you take it out cause its sure going to stop a lot of hearts.

He will need to go with FM-200 fixed system, much more eco freindly . When this baby fly's its gonna be the RC event of the year.
