Hey Paul,

I bought OEM cells and build them. I am running a couple of discharge through my charger right now to make sure it doesn't crap out.

Discharge stats.

At 1.5amp = 7.75volt = 5mah

At 1.5amp = 7.20volt = 100mah

At 1.5amp = 7.00volt = 150mah

At 1.5amp = 6.50volt = 300mah

Not bad.

Not bad at all. If and when you are happy with them, can I buy a couple? I like the size.
Cheers

I'll wait to see the final results but I think 6 of the top 10 finishers were Chandler Bowl DLGers!

So far, the best quote I've seen is from MSaid - "Theraflu is the steroids of DLG." Amazing performance, George.

In fact, I think everyone that made the flyoff deserves a big round of applause. That was a wicked turn of wind...

Take a couple tylenol PM and get some rest, Vu. You'll feel better in the morning. BTW, good job on making the fly-offs!

Man.... It getting serious hot hot out there (if you know what I mean). I think I'm going to hang around this thread...

This is what I call amateur adult! Some people just have eggshell feelings, one little tap it cracked. Maybe I'm tuff because when I was in school, I get trashed and talk smack and make fun of every minutes.

Kaka!

Usually babies don't stop crying until you pamper them. However, if you pamper too much, it turn into a bad habit...

Ack ack ack.... ROTFL.

Spare the rod, spoil the child

seems to have worked, in my case.

BTW, did you ever find a good editing software for your video camera? we've got a bunch of video from tonight that we want to turn into a CD for my sis and all her friends.
