Hi all. Noob here who is trying to be very safe with batteries. I just got this battery and charger with my P40 build kit and am charging with the balance port in the 3S charge port and charging on 1A. Figured since this can’t do 1.8 for the 1800mAh, I’d be safe at 1. Battery has been plugged...

hi pilots The weather is due to be good tomorrow and in my mind the time has come to maiden my F-16 😊 I can build, paint, fly, crash ,repair & repeat and that’s pretty much what I have been doing for the past 7 years. All builds have been from guess work and previous lanes - flight experience...

Hello, Just built and maidened my FT gremlin. All is flying smooth but about 30 seconds into flight the motors spin the props right off. The shaft on the motor isn't long enough to support any retention from the top of the prop, and I don't want to glue\epoxy them in place for obvious reasons...

However, when I...
