X-Twin, Aeroace - post your mods - part 2
well the first Mod thread made it to over 1000 posts, so it seemed like a good idea to start a 2nd one to help cut down on all the wading. i've got nothing to add at this point, but the most updated version of the .txt file. keep 'em comin folks.
first mod thread: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=401484 here's the website that has my TXT file converted to HTML. no more copy and pasting links! http://www.eflightwiki.com/eflightw...Airhogs_AeroAce nick edit: i'll continually update the TXT file when new mods or planes have been made and posted. should make things easier. |

i found this problem too. i'm guessing there's something in the way between the charging socket on the plane and the battery, probably a chip of some sort. it seems to only allow the same input voltage and amperage rating as the stock TX charger (i guess techincally, if you knew the exact voltage and amperage, you could try to make your own charger match it and see if that worked). unfortunately though, there's no way to access the lipo without getting into the plane. if you split the nose open a ways, you can get to the lipo. all it'll need is a little snip of the battery wires, solder on your own connectors to it, and charge away. i did this about a week after getting the X-Twins, i didnt want to drain TX batteries, and i never really trust those TX style charger, most seem to never charge 100% correct. plus i've read that the TX charger charges at over the normally recommended 1C rating, so it'll charge faster. its obviously safe, as none have exploded, but i would'nt be surprised if it lowers the batteries life a little bit. nick |

You can remove that diode and put it into the Tx' charging cable, but then you have to do this mod to all your planes if you still want to use the Tx charger. Or you simply add a new connector directly to the battery line. |

All the tx battery mods are nice and I've looked at those also. The price of alkalines are eating me alive right now soooo I guess I'll be pulling out the exacto soon for some (hopefully) minor surgery on my AA, and remove a troublesome diode. Anyone know the correct mah rating for the AA lipo? Ron |

I seem to remember reading in thread 'one' somewhere, that they were 130mAh size lipoly cells in the 'plane'

Another x-twin mod/ detachable wing
Hi,
first let me say, that i feel like a beginner again since Harpye shows us his beauties. But, as i will never reach his level, i show meanwhile what i have. This is my first attempt with graphics printed on paper japonais. Gordon Johnson published this design somewhere. I decided to scale it up to 120 percent, which leads to a span of 53 centimetres and a final weight of 29,60 gramms. The weight is not a problem, because with this higher weight i have a nice controlled decent at the lowest throttle setting. This plane has a detachable wing. The connectors to the motors are also responsible for holding the wing in place, a little magnet assists. In case of hard landing the wing will come off without damage. Guess, how i know... Here's a little 4MB video of the maiden flight: http://stephanb.rchomepage.com/videos/X-mbs.wmv Stephan |
