wife likes me this week

[Evan]

she gave me the go ahead to order the mcpx so i did that, then after words i told her i orderd a case of fuel. 15% cool power shipped to my door for 102 from amain. i pay the same price for powermaster 15% heli but have to drive 100 miles round trip to get it.
i like that this fuel is green. green is my color

anyways mcpx is on the way along with lotsa fuel. im planning lots of stick time . the sim has gotten boreing i guess



i downloaded the mcpx fiel into my radio. man i gota say that was slick. throttle curves are all preset aswell as pitch and dual rates and it even has 3 flight modes already programmed. timer is even all set.
i guess all thats left to do is fine tune to my liking ounce i get her airborn

You're gonna love that little thing.

ounce she gave me the okay i went round and round in my head all day about it. it just seems so much like a toy i was having a hard time actualy pulling the trigger. i finaly decided you know what even if i get a few crashes its still a few crashes less on the 600 that so far has stayed away from the dirt.

im sure the wife will hate me since ill be flying nonstop in the living room dive bombing those stinking kittens she just got

how long does it take the batteries to charge? i also have 5 250 mah turnigy batteries coming so ill have 7 total.

Your going to love that little heli. No pressure. You may want to order more batteries. ;D

[Evan]

i have 5 turnigies comming so ill have 7 total. i may see if i cant build pigtail to charger on my charger this would take like 2 minutes to charge. not sure the charger can charge a one cell lipo though

[McKrackin]

I have been fast charging mine at 3 amps for a few weeks and have ruined all of them.
I have 10 lipos and 1:20 is the longest any will fly and half are down to 25-30 seconds.

They are 5 eFlite and 5 Turnigy Nano

New,the Nanos flew 2:30

Of course my MCP X is brushless but the lipos were ruined on the charger. Not the heli.

Stick to a 0.7 amp charge. It doesn't take long and I just charge at night to have 10 lipos in the morning and put a lipo on charge after every flight. Can fly all day.

Gonna order 10 more lipos and baby them.
Prolly get 320mAh Hyperions.

[Evan]

how long do they take to charge on the eflight charger?

i just checked and i my charger will do 1cell lipos. ill keep it at .7amps or below. im sure is under 10 minutes at .7 amps. then i can have to chargeing at the same time and still flying a few.

thanks for the reply

i just bought this on ebay, ill weld a deans on it and see what happens

[McKrackin]

Update....Lipos are ok it seems and my BLS ESC has issues and is shutting down way too easy.
Back to 3 amp charging and gonna go back to brushed motor.

Never have used the stock charger but 3 amps is about 10 minutes.

[McKrackin]

I thought it was odd that all 10 went bad at the same time.lol...

[Evan]

10 minutes for a 300 Maj battery. Seems like a long time.
Mcox is scheduled to be here tommieow.

That's good your batteries are still good
