      didnt take mine earlier either but both orders have been dispatched once dispatch was confirmed i kindlly sent a nice email to dennis saying how thankful i was for his freebies it was very much appreciated could they charge me the money and he said no issues occasionally happen with our system like this as they have been dispatch keep them as a kind gift lol

  8. LOL - Lipos come out of my 350QX (forced landing by built in LVC) at 3.6V no load - shame flight time left but means I don't have to bother storage charging XD!

    1. CyclingSalmon14

      CyclingSalmon14

      Haveing said that I doubt there would be much runtime left maby 2 or 3 mins and it would likely have no "punch" left, so properly a good cut off voltage in hindsight.

    2. Noj

      Noj

      3.8v is storage voltage, to the charger!

    3. CyclingSalmon14
  9. 12W plug in and unknown Gas Irons are not cutting it, whats a decent cheap Soldering iron with plenty of power?

  10. WHOOPS! Shorted a lipo soldering new conectors, only a milisecond (Sparks) no puffing though and looks ok so will keep an eye on it but should be perfectly fine Id imagine...so who elase has done this before, noob mistake I know...I evan use a Eband to stop this happning...but was just checking lead lenth was the same hahah #Scary!

      CyclingSalmon14

      Yup! First attempt at soldering XD I stupidly was doing it on metal mess tins (What was i thinking!!!) got a heck of a scare but lesson learned ??.

      Useing one of those self healing matts now though...certainly need more practice at it :( got there in the end.

      One of the pins has a slight "chunk" missing whare it shorted out but it still makes contact so will leave it be untill or if it fails.

      I was putting some EC5 connectors on a 5s lipo - I was using a knife to cut through wire casing and somehow managed to short it - vaporised the tip of the knife and scared the bejesus out of me! The lipo also has a weaker cell now :/
