Halloa people

a few weeks back I came across this new look at (lipo) chargers
from Charsoon.. It is a modular system, with 4 different kinds of charger
'cubes'..

Link to the components: Charsoon Magic Cube charger

So, with this system you do not charge your lipo's through their discharge leads..
Does this really work? Is it convenient / fast??

Let's find out

others.. This time we'll have a look at a Very small goggle from Hyperion.. The ThinView.

Halloa people

a few weeks back Hobbyking released their new version of the Cyclops FPV goggle At the moment I use the Genesis goggle myself, so I didn't really need a new goggle, but I did want to review it!

A link to this goggle: Quanum Cyclops V2 - 40cm 5.8Ghz FPV Goggle

As you can see, this is a Very affordable goggle.. The V1 of this goggle was allready pretty nice though, so how have they improved on that? in fact: HAVE they improved thngs?

Let's see

Hi there fellow pilots

got me another new plane in! And not just any.. it's an EDF Jet this time

As with most planes, I'll be doing several video's on it, starting with a Show & Tell with build recap
