Utmost respect for anyone who served. Can I call you Sir?

Stamp / Jim,

Thank you very much for your kind words. It really means alot to me.

You can call me Sir, but Chopper, Dave or will be okay.

Thanks again, and God Bless,

Dave

I'll call you Dave, Sir.

You can call him "Sir" because he's an elderly gentleman(respectfully of course)....he was an enlisted man, but he's definately EARNED it.

Hey Guys,

That skunk is like a 500 pound gorilla, he sleeps anywhere he wants to!

Jay, I am there for ya. When you get close I'll get with you. We'll open the box and you'll take a picture of the inside so I can see what colors are on the wires. There are a few verations so once I see the colors I can you how to wip through it. Man are we gonna have some fun together or what! I cant wait................
JPEE

BTW I have a computer to tear apart and turn into a power supply. Is it really that hard? Could you post a link again to how that's done?

Let that pole cat walk

Blessings,

Jay-the original article for the mod was on rchelimag.com I don't know if it's still there or not. I have a hard copy printed out. I can fax, mail, or scan and e-mail it to you if you need it. It's easy to do just need a little soldering skils.
Let me know if you need it.

Jim

Thanks Jim! Hopefully JPEE can talk me through it.
Here's a pic of the power supply found in this old Gateway.~

Blessings,

Jay

Jay- The article was printed in the October 2008 issue of RC Heli Mag. I went to thei site but don't see it up there anymore??!! It may be on the web somewhere. If not we have resources here to help you.

Jim

Cool! I figure I'm pretty good with soldering and all. I just bought a new gun a few months back. I got the power unit out and cleaned up. Here's a shot of the unit and wires separated. I see it say 12v/6 amps. 6amps doesn't seem like a lot. Right now my biggest battery charges 1c @ 4 amps.

Blessings,

Jay

Jay,

I saw in the first picture you've got 200 watts at 6.0 amp. That's not a ton of juice, but enough to charge a 6S battery. Or run 2 smaller chargers.
I notice too, that it was made in Thailand, YIKES! I spent 1 year there when I was in the Air Force.

Here's a couple videos for ya to hack that power supply. 2 parts: (Others too on the youtube page)
You really don't need the LED, but nice to have to let you know you have the power supply turned on. The yellow wire is 12 volts and the black is ground. The red is 5 volts... But double check it with a voltmeter. I'm not 100 percent sure all power supplies are created equally, color wise.
