    I use an iCharger 380 Duo with a pair of feathermerchant 12v 69 amp power supplies, wired in series for 24 volts. I can charge my 6s 5000 packs for my 88" Yak in 25 minutes.

    Sounds like you just need a Hitec X400 to get you infatuated with burning electrons again :cool:

    That is the power of Hitec Brushless servos ;):thumbup:

    Well for a 150 watt charger you should be able to charge UP to 9 amps for a 4 cell pack. So charging your 4s 3200 pack at 2c (6.4 amps) would yield a charge time just under half an hour. But if you have a bigger battery it would definitely take some time.

    Servo bench testing

    Whether you operate them at 6.0v or 7.4v won't really matter because the servo will generate the same amount of torque on either voltage. The speed will be altered slightly but the torque won't be affected.

    I'd rather be called an e-tard and use an electric setup than futz with any slimer ever again in an airplane. No more patience for it I guess. But to each his own, rock what you got!

    Servo bench testing

    Would be curious to see what the current draw is while you're testing the servo under load, and not just for the Hitec, but for the other servos you've tested. Be nice to have something like a spread sheet that shows something like the rated specs of the servos, the measured torque specs, and...

    Question? Lipo Bag?

    I personally don't use them. I use a cinder block with a concrete base to charge in :thumbup:

    Servo bench testing

    I was thinking about using the 9370's in my 88" EF Yak and the 9475's in my new Aerobeez 70" Slick PRO. Always good to hear user reviews :thumbup:

    How to program flaps on a Futaba 10c

    You need to enable the Flaperon setting in the program menu, then assign it to a switch. As I understand it, you are using full length split ailerons, and you just want the inboard ailerons to function as flaps as well, correct?

    Servo bench testing

    So looks like you have a peak of about 450oz of torque with the average being just under 430oz. That's pretty good for a servo rated at 347oz of torque.

    Article: DOC AUSTIN - Testing: Hi Tec's New HS5070MH Servos

    Excellent review Doc! I am planning on swapping my 65's for this servo in one of my larger foamies, so I'm glad to hear it's working so well for you :thumbup:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Yeah, that one needs serious attention. Most of the mylar skin is dry rotted, the foam is dry rotted, some of the wood inside is dry rotted, I THINK the wings are OK, won't know until I tear off all of the fugly red and have a peek. I figured i'd keep it for a project, maybe make it an IMAC...

    Well very little productivity for me today, despite the crap weather. All I did was clean up the shop mostly and put up my new plane rack. I have come to the realization that if I get any more big airplanes that I will be in need of a trailer to store them in...
