Its a common complaint. Long discussion over on rcgroups. I ended up disabling the lvc by soldering the board and now fly to a timer.

When they say 4.8 to 6v i believe they are refering to either a 4.8 or 6v nicad you'll be fine with what you have

I've just put my name down for one ?179 for a complete kit of this size seems pretty good to me

Another option would be to build a wooden crate or two out of 25mm timer and 3mm mdf/hardboard to put the models in. They could then be strapped down and kept safe whilst in the moving van/ hire van.

Hobbyking do an olive drab too http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=45941 Edited By glen johnson on 09/09/2015 21:18:15

You could use 6mm grub screws. Model fixings do them upto 30mm long http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/steel_grub_screws.htm#Metric grubs

Hi Robert, If you're anywhere near kent I'll take a look at it for you if you like. At the very least I should be able to recover files from the drive.

I've used both, stainless are better for corrosion resistance and hold up well in engine use. They do still wear out though due to pitting of the races etc from normal engine use.

If you have the same version installed on another laptop and are sure you used the same code you can use a program to fi d the key used to install it. https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ is one I have used in the past.

The wires on the ar7000 are just straight wire, I've also replaced one or two that dropped off, i now put a bit of heat shrink on them and attach it to the case with hot melt glue.

Thanks for the glue it'll come in handy.

the ar9020 has a common power bus as do all spektrum rx's. you can plug into any free channels and it will give power.

If it's only rated for 4.8v then yes putting 6v (7.2v fully charged) though it will kill it in a very short time. if it was a 6v regulated then it's just a coincidence. Edited By glen johnson on 19/02/2014 13:33:10

i used a launch dolly with mine. glided like a brick once the engine was off
