So I have been going to college 2 miles away from an airfield? - wish i'd known that!Edited By Tim Mackey - Administrator on 03/07/2010 10:36:22

Ha, awesome! I'll google maps where panshanger is!

Hmm sounds expensive :s

College course finished so I can go flying!!!

I'm not really sure where the nearest airfield is, we are near where the dehavilland airfield used to be

The problems of people stealing my name XD means you have to say my surname too!

Already looks awesome! *bookmarked!*

Ah :s Looked worse than it actually was though, always a good thing!   Is that the one with retracts?  

We can rebuild it, we have the UHU POR! XD

Hopefully the next one (51st? :P) will be out of Uni term times Won't be on my college course soon so I can get my A out the way!

I think the BBC one is the met office one 

Getting quite fed up with: a) the wind for stopping me flying b) the stupidly inaccurate wind forecast for getting my hopes up!    Been the second Saturday that has been forecast for 20oc+ temps and > 3mph wind!!! Getting fed up, as it is I have to spend all this time doing work! 

Oh don't get me started on H&S legislation, Bad enough it's enforced, but you can't easily just get a simple list of them all, increasing my workload tenfold!!!!   I could make a better video than that!!!! jk :P   Was the flight in the plane free just to get a good story for the video? I don't know why but I love looking at other people's models, a gateway into different participants in the hobby :D   I like the look of all those scratch builds! And I like the idea of 'you build 'em I fly 'em' ! Because I have not yet got my adult patience!Edited By Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage on 27/06/2010 19:55:02

http://www.pythonmotorsports.com/fg/electronics/propeakcharger.html   That is the spec of it, it says 3.5Ah.   It looks like there is an up market version under the name pro-peak varipulse 2500 with variable current.   This charger was bought no more than a year ago and I think it is quite modern.   These batteries would be charged on our other ripmax charger at no more than 2 amps and they would never ever get hot. Maybe it would be a good charger to use at a race, but when at home, charge them at a low current to prolong their life. 

The point is, this is virtually brand new, and it is wasted money :s we do have other chargers, I was just wondering why it got so hot.   We could probably sell it then, If it is normal operation, to someone who does racing.
