***Good man Ian,thats the spirit pass on any updated info,the battery market is in a state of flux at the present time with thousands of un-tapped Lithium batteries on the shelves,Overlander appear to be one of the few suppliers selling the updated versions apart from a few American ads that I have seen,you will be fine going the route that you have taken with proper equipment,by the way the Swedes have developed a wafer thin cell pack for military use,any news like that can only be good for the future of electric flying,the development costs can only be absorbed by the military and we will reap he benefits eventually,just think in a few years time almost anything could be possible in the way of small lightweight models ? battery development has never been as active as at present,the technology is out there,just look at that tiny delta that flew the atlantic last year under radio control,the future is exciting.

I won't get to try these dualsky batteries untill I get past the trainer stage.
I got 2 x 2 cell LiPo batteries from Overlander with a free battery Guard that connects between the charger and the battery, I don't know what it does but I'm certainly going to use them, they are Kokham guards and batteries on special offer. these are for the trainer.
I should mention that I am a great believer in passing on any hints / tips or info I may come across after I do a search to find out if it has or has not been posted, I have got a vast lot of excellent info in here and I want to repay that if I can.
Your LiPo info is very greatly accepted, and I can assure you I am treading carefully regarding, not only all aspects of R/C, but especially the batteries.  |
