Another day at the office?

--- Quote from: "Happy Days" ---It seems odd that the battery goes down to Tx cut off voltage when in use one moment, but not the next :?:

Normaly when I get the low battery warning I usualy have about five minuets to get the model down. During that period It usualy beeps every 4 or 5 seconds. Its only the last 5 to 10 seconds that it beeps continuosly which is what it did straight away after 10 minuets that day. I did not have a chance. The battery must not have been charged at all. Ah well you live and learn. I'll just have to make sure its fully charged somehow next time.

Fred:
Very good Keith !  :clap:  :clap:
The last shot looks like it is going to hurt !  :shock:

Alan, why don't you go Lipo ? Did it on my MC18, best move ever ! And going to convert all my radios!
Haven't charged it for almost a year now (10 months I think... And the last charge was just a balance for the cells...), still reading 12.1 volts ! I lose around 0.1 volts /month, using it or not. And lighter radio too...)

joe:
So now does it fly Keith? Whats the verdict??

Alan_Perse:
Its too late now Fred. I already bought it. Its a Ni/Mh 1800mAh. That should last a while.

Happy Days:
Well Joe :?:

She seems a very stable bird. Great "presents" in the sky, although not extremely acrobatic. (Winds yesterday - 30Kph gusting to 50)

Fred suggested moving the CoG back. I moved it back 5mm, doesn't seem to have made much difference. Maybe I need to take it back more.
At the moment she takes a fortnight to roll, and wont fly inverted without loosing loads of height.

Having said all that,.................I spent more time flying her yesterday than any othe model, she is a nice plane to fly :D
