Anyone ever have to solder a charge plug back onto a battery?
One of my batteries has 2 of the 4 charge plug cables come off
the battery.
Had a little peek inside the battery and it looks like all that needs
is a bit of solder and she will be ok again.
Not being real expert with fine soldering I'm wondering if anyone
here would be willing to fix for me.
I'm guessing that it would be an easy job for someone who knows what they're doing. Smile

hey guys,
are any of you using any other type of battery connectors other than deans? I'm not really a fan of deans, they sometimes hard to pull apart and when you solder them there isn't much tab area and the plastic insulator sometimes melts. Any of you using any crimp connectors or other types of solder ones? If so, are you getting them locally or HK?
Cheers

Hi all,
Put this date in your diary - 18th & 19th Sept 2010.

The RAAF are putting on an airshow at Williamtown and the list of planes that will be on display is very impressive.
The new F18 Super Hornet will be demonstating its capabilities and the F-111 will be saying it's sad farewell. There will also be others from the RAAF and the Navy Air Wing, plus Temora Aviation museum is sending up a number of its warbirds, F86 Sabre, Meteor, Spitfire and Mustang. Not to be outdone the HARS is a sending up a Super Constellation, Catalina and Dakota, there is something to suite everyones tastes.

So who is interested in going up? Me!!!!! Biggrin Biggrin Biggrin Biggrin Biggrin

I'm thinking of making a weekend of it, possibly going up Friday afternoon or very early Saturday morning and coming home Sunday afternoon once I have seen the bulk of the air displays.

See the attached web sites for more info;

http://www.proticket.com.au/event.asp?eventid=669

It reminds me of the good old days of Schofield's (Mirage's doing high speed passes) & Richmond (F15 going vertical from a slow pass) Bi-Centenial airshows.

Can't wait!!

PS. Thanks Aron for mentioning this event to me a couple weeks ago.

Any ideas, thoughts, concerns, warnings etc etc will be gratefully accepted.

Hello fella's,
I'm looking for parts to complete my new catalina. I haven't ordered from Hobbyking before and wondered what you guys have experinced regarding quality. I know the prices are very attractive but someone once said to me 'but cheap buy twice'! I've located the motors, ESC's, battery and servos that would work. Is there anything I should avoid going cheap on or is it pot luck? I was thinking whether it is a good idea to not scrimp on the servo's and go for something a bit more proven. Lots of the servo's don't have any reviews which worries me!
Thanks for any info,
Simon

I was bored last night so I came up with a rough spread sheet to give you rough idea of flight times using a certain capacity battery and a known amp draw.

Have fun

I'm planning to order some more depron as I've built myself out of the original order and I've over-bent my Index 3 already Frown.

Depron Australia have 2, 3 and 6mm sheets and include up to 20 sheets in one delivery fee (Shipping details).

Does anyone else want some sheets? Product list
