Lipo fully charged is 8.4 volts. Non HV servos dont like this. A little battery management like charging a lipo to the max voltage of a fully charged life pack and your servos will be fine.. Rocket - are you saying we don’t need a regulator when using non-HV servos if we simply charge the 2s lipos ...

Guys, I’m flying the Zippy 700’s what should I set my low voltage warning alarm at? Hi Dan. I don't know this information off the top of my head, but over the years I've kept notes on things I've learned about batteries. From these notes, here's what I published in the September 2021 RC Pylon Racin...

I was just looking at the NMPRA race calendar and noticed this race appeared. It's a race in northern, lower Michigan that has seemed to come and go a few times, but now that it's back on I just wanted to give it a little more attention to make sure everybody knows about it. The dates are July 28, 3...

What is the situation for pitting? When I attended the race there a few years ago, spikes were not allowed to be put into the ground, so therefore we could not put up our pop-up tents. Is this still the situation? And just out of curiosity, where in relation to the course will we be pitting? And whi...

Here are images of my Too Sweet. I had originally installed the Nelson, but later installed a Jett. Only thing I had to change was slightly enlarging the cutout around the venturi for the Jett. But now that I look at the images, maybe I'm remembering that incorrectly. Looks like the cutout around th...

Speaking of break-in, here should be a link to the July 2020 issue of the Pylon Racing column in Model Aviation where I wrote about engine test stands (with information and guidance from Dub and Mike Langlois). Not sure if this link will work for you. I could get to the library, but it wouldn't let ...

I have one of those in one of my Quickies.

I luv luv luv the ProTek 500s. I used to follow the break-in instructions religiously, then a very wise person who shall remain nameless but whose initials are Lonnie Finch said "or you could just use them." At 30-40 mAh per flight, a normal day of test flying takes them down to maybe 60%. Go home,...

Here's another LiFe pack that Dan Kane told me about. It's a 500mAh available from amain hobbies...

Here are some viable LiFe receiver packs. The Zippy is the smallest, but hard to come by. Looks like it’s been discontinued, but replaced by another Zippy, but seems they’re usually not in stock at HobbyKing. Looks like the Venom 850 has been discontinued too, but I left it in the photo for size com...

This plane is no longer available.
