Hi Klipy the Futaba the glider was on the ground the guy had landed it and when he went to pick it up it was twitching

If it's a 2200mAh and you're charging at 1amp and it takes an hour then that's 1000mAh. ie it was about half full. 1000mA = 1amp.
Remember, there are no such things as stupid questions, only stupid answers!
Do it now, you may never get another chance

Hi BB, some chargers will tell you how much they've put back. The other way is to put it on charge, check the current, then time how long it takes to 'fill'THE BLACKBIRD wrote: How do i measure how much charge i put back in the lipo's ??? your talking to me Klipy i keep saying i know nothing

Going to do it in fibreglass cloth and resin and spray it with spray cans
Did not need this extra work, the covering is discusting, but i must say the woodwork is very very good, those little China women make a better job of it than me

Its a good idea, i mount all my servo's on the servo cover even when i make ply ones, but this one is melting from the heat of the turbine, i suppose if i contact Boomerang they will say it's never happend before

I've finally worked out why you are having all your problems Tony - you're using the wrong beer cans!! Try Fosters!!! 
Superior colonial Beer - and cans of course.
