Current can be expressed as Amps, milliamps etc and is still the same in the power calculation you just need to remember to move the decimal point
1 amp = 1000mA, 1mA = 0.001 amps.
So whats the point Masher?
-
When I set up a power train I always test with the watt meter to ensure the battery is adequate as is the ESC andd that I do not overload the motor. ESC are always way above what is needed
-
I would assume it will depend what you are going to use the motor for. I fly gliders off a flat field and have used nothing but cheap Turnigy and have never been disappointed. I also have an Inovator trainer, why? and it is again powered by Turnigy. I understand that in performance flying then there may be a need? to spend more money. Its all a matter of choice where some spend mega bucks but I am a tight fisted Scot and do it on a budget.

My appologies Ross, I had not checked and assumed it was an outrunner

Remove circlip from front and pull motor appart. Place rotor on a piece of wood with shaft through hole in wood. Make sure allen screw is slack and use a centre punch to knock through. Start with light taping of punch

I am awaiting a delivery from HK so will check as suggested.
In making this order I was browsing a motor when a pop-up appeared offering me a discount if I bought now, which I proceeded to do. On receipt of the final invoice, having paid, I noted that this was out of stock and as such could have delayed whole order. Contacted HK and in view of possible delay asked if they could remove item as I had only purchased through pop-up. Item has been removed and credit given with very little trouble and as said awaiting delivery.
Never been taxed on any order but this one is $136 so will wait and see.
There will allways be problems and Peter's appears a bit unfair but so far I have been lucky. Pity UK did not hold a greater range of products

Another tick for the Wot range, Wot 4 MkIII got me through my "A" and "B"
Did the "A" with it IC, sooo many dead sticks..... changed it to leccy, much better
Cheers
Danny
Up in Gods country so may be different but surely dead sticks are part of your test?

As other posters I have left Tx switched on and lost settings fortunately showing up on pre-flight checks. Pays to check every time but easy forgotten.

Over the years I have used HK and it normally takes 2/3 weeks from HK. Unfortunately they delivered once in 5 days and I was unavailable to take delivery and PO returned to HK. After a few emails with HK parcel was reposted with no problems.
Deliveries from HK,UK are within 2/3 days and my only criticism is they use Parcelforce whose track and trace is absoluely useless and do not expect a sensible reply if you complain as they do not understand english.
Recently purchased two models from HK UK and cannot fault the material or build quality, how they do it amazes me.
-
Slightly different to a lost parcel but I had a parcel returned to HK as Post Office were unable to deliver through no fault of theirs. I made contact with HK who indicated once the parcel was returned to them they would contact me, which they did. I had to pay postage again but that understandable however I was impressed that their system had worked.
-
I totally agree with what you say. What concerns me is others seem to consider as " a product" was "bought cheap" from "any company" then the company can re-write T&Cs to suit themselves. I do not think so and as you say it is bizarre.
-
Andrew, the tinternet is not serious but it is a forum for different views. I dont think any of us are seriously concerned about the T&Cs in this instance because they are, to me, only minor sums of money. Had they been considerable sums then they might be relevant but it all depends on how much the individual is prepared to loose. Should put a happy face bu not sure how.
-
I have purchased very recently from GS and HK(UK) and they have both provided excellent price and service.
Back to the OP, to expect a supplier to warrant your installation is unacceptable and I can understand that T&C. However if installed correctly and failing to operate then that should be covered under warranty. Simply to refuse warranty because package has been opened and soldered in place(how else can you test) is not acceptable
-
My posting was not about the Frsky product, which I have found very satisfactory, but about companies concocting their own T&Cs
-
Hopefully not going to open up previous posting, but find strange that it is found acceptible for a company to concock its own T&Cs which may be contrary to Sales of Goods Act. etc but then everybody has their own views.
-
I find the T&C GS make quite incredible as they appear to go against all that is expected from a retailer. Their, "if you are not happy with these terms - BUY THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE! " suggests very little customer care.
I have converted 3 Tx to Frsky including one updated to telemetry and have had no problems.

"I wonder what impact Hobby King is going to have in the UK"
They will desimate the small shops who will have ever more Airfix type kits as they sell and make them money which is essential. My LMS is going this way but will order in on request. This week I took delivery of two orders from HK delivered within a matter of days of ordering both of good quality items. The choice from HK is also immense although not all available from UK so a wait is inevitable on some items.
Unfortunately delivered by Parcelforce which is absolutely dreadful in any info provided or response to complaints. My latest complaint asked in the first instance if they could tell me who lived in Buckingham Palace and if not to esculate to a supervisor. Will wait and see.

Depends on the glider but I find they are easier to fly. Like all models if they are properly trimmed you can fly hands off.
-
Exactly like that Alan except no C rating on it. Will assume its a 30C but will keep myt eyes on it.

I have search but can find nothing. Had hoped the black covering would be an identifier but no luck. Will just need to keep a close eye. Thanks again.
-
Thanks for the info Allan as that sorts the "P" out. Unfortunately there is no "C" on the pack to get any guidance as to what the maximum discharge should be. I will just go on 15C and keep an eye on it for heating. The charging maximum current has been marked.
-
Have picked up a couple of these batteries. 2000 3S-1P 11.1 volt, Over-tec in a black wrapping with a maximum charge current of 2000mA. Can work my way round the charge socket but not sure of the C rating. Have done a quick search and whilst I thought the 1P would be 1C have seen batteries with the same 1P, but marked 15C which I hope would be correct
Any advice appreciated

Mark. Visit your local flying club and you will get all the advice for free ie where to locate satalite etc. Have you flown before?

I do attempt to support LMS if they have stock. Called in the other day for the first time in a couple of months to find a large expanse of display shelves taken up with airfix type of kits. As the owner say they sell and I need to make money which I can understand. Will still order in on request but not tying cash up on slow moving models

Just secure the wheel so that it does not move and you will find you can control easily enough with the rudder. I consider the steering front wheel just an un-necessary complication unless you want to do precision manouvers on the ground.
