Yeah, what Jim said. I think I'm gonna mount my RX on the sidewall using velcro/hot glue. That way you can adjust for CG very easy.

Damn! Wish I noticed that a year ago


Thanks to robschonk,
I'm off to go order a couple of those ebay alarmed versions of the volt meters I just received. I'll have extras now, but I'll keep the alarmed ones in my plane and cars and keep the other two at my charging station and out in the garage.

At $2.39 + free shipping everyone here should own at least one.

@2500GENE, I'm gonna tell ya,,,..I almost peed my pants when I saw the pic of your "RTR" sitting on a beautiful buck exclaiming the demise of the other reindeer if his demands weren't met...OMG

You are better of timing your flights. I have an LVC warning devise. Give me a few hours....I'll find it......I know it's some where

Oh yeah, of course... flights can be inconsistent though... and I'm always pushing it with my Champ when I'm trying to get that one last perfect landing on video and just guessing how much longer I can push that lipo... never ever did hit LVC in that thing, which is good.

But these have more uses than for just in flight

Uh, Huh, Uh Huh, I can just see it disappear over the tree line

I have tried using those alarms in the past, and gave up. The alarm will sound (or did for me) when the pack was not at LV except when I'm pulling a big load. It was basically annoying. I ended up using a timer on the TX.

Good luck with those but you may discover you are pulling 9v (3s) and getting an alarm when after you land you find that you have more volts left anyway.

The scariest thing so far was one night when I had it out back in the farmer's field I back onto, right after I did my LED and strobe mod, which was also around the time I was having binding and loss connection issues with this Champ's brick. I had it about 50 feet up heading away from me and lost connection. I had my CG set up for a perfect dead stick shallow glideslope where the thing would pretty much land itself hands off. It was rainy season mid summer and there was a big puddle of standing water in the field (more like a small pond) that it was gliding toward and a busy road just beyond that. I didn't even chase after it... I just stood there with a sinking feeling in my stomach, thinking... "this will be interesting."

It cleared the far side of the water and landed in the 30 foot stretch of dry ground between the water and the road.

You will always have a higher resting voltage than when measured under load. I want my alarm to tell me when it's hit a certain voltage under load... I don't like going under 3.3 or 3.4v per cell. If I stop at that point and measure it it'll be significantly higher than 3.4, But it's under load that matters. Is that what you mean or something different? I haven't purchased them yet.

Ya gotta wonder how they can make one and mail it individually half way around the world for $2.39. No wonder the Chinese are taking over the world....

Yeah, no kidding.

If I was willing to spend $40 to have ailerons I'd buy this instead. In fact, I just might, at some point.

(price is a bit less than this here in town)

Trust me, you DO NOT want that wing....
You would be MUCH better off cutting the ailerons out and installeing servos in the stock wing.
