One cell was way low. I flew 4 of my 2200 packs, and 3 in the Blade. Fly a batt, go sit in truck and warm up, fly another....
Just got another 3 packs in at the house here too. Likin the 3300 for sure. Way better at holding HS than my Great Hobbies packs. (manufacture unknown)

Little pic of my babys

I really like that canopy.

2 packs on the Stretch and a night flight on my night Protos after work yesterday. Still need to get the mini P back together after a few parts were robbed off it for spares at a funfly.

first crash rebuild..it was a small one and very easy to fix

I love the simplicity of this heli, now just praying for a successful re-maiden

Flew 4 packs today and 4 yesterday. Now that I'm getting to fly almost every day, I am playing around with my settings more. Bumped up my Throttle from 80 to 85%, moved my dual rates form 80% to 100% on Aile and elev, and reduced my expo from 30 to 20. It really livened it up and gave it some pop. Other than the annoying squeak when spooling down, it is really flying great.

[banditpowdercoat]

get a video of that squeak?

[wbefield]

I'll try to get one tommorrow if it is still happening. It is very hard to hear and does not last but a second or two right at the end of the spool down. Removed pinion, cleaned it, and oiled the small radial bearings.

Gave my Gens Ace 2200mah 25c batteries a nice slow charge to balance out the quick charging(3c & 4c) that I have been doing lately.

Set my Icharger 206b to charge at 1.2A(0.5c) and took about an hour and a half per battery.
Hope that keeps them happy.

2 flights in yesterday 3 today.. yesterday did my first figure 8.. (not the pretties but) I'v been on some back to basics stuff.. I miss my simulator.. but it was fun got some great first stall turns in too.. today did my first inverted pass from right to left.. lol I know its small but its a big step for me

[banditpowdercoat]

2 packs fig 8's too! And low flips. Some high inverted hover. Did 2 packs in the Blade too, and a couple inverted passes. Some 4 corner hover practice too.

Blew up my snowmobile today, so I figured I better not push my luck LOL

What are your thoughts regarding these batteries?

[wbefield]

Other than receiving one with a bad cell on two occasions, I have no complaints. They charge and balance well and come down only slightly warm after a 5 minute flight at 85% throttle.

[wbefield]

Last nite I flew 4 batteries. Some kid was getting taught how to parallel park in the school parking lot that I fly, so I had to fly over the trees next to the parking lot.

[banditpowdercoat]

Checking and Logging some cell's IR and performance this morning. Gona fly later for sure!!
I need more batteries. The used ones I got with my Protos sure were ABUSED!!!
So Far the Voltz 3300 35c is working awesome tho

[wbefield]

thinking about setting up my dx6i with IU1 and IU2 settings since I never fly in regular mode.

[banditpowdercoat]

Wish I could. But I use the CC auto bailout and need a 0 speed for initization. Would like to have slower hs for my weaker batts

I was in my 15th flight of the day and was at my girlfriend's house comemorating easter and was doing fast elevator tic tocs closer to a tree, suddendly a blast of wind threw my protos a little bit down and the blades hit the tree, cut it down, one blade hit the boom, and I was there staring at my baby going down, but that's not the worse part....... below the tree there's a water tank... I think I dont need to say more...... "Only" burned esc, nothing more electric is damaged! Thank God! Only one blade has broken, the other is in perfect condtion, boom is not in good shape, spindle, grips, tail control rod is the only mechanical damage.

My protos was stolen this weekend.
