Thank you guys for your experience i shall take on board everything you have said when you buy a lipo it must have been stored for some time in the warehouse I guess before it is shipped to you and charged for the first time.Am I right or not kind regards glen

Hi all well I finally finished my Kavalier and joined the local flying club the guys there are great and set up my plane and gave it it's maiden flight my question is what do I do with the lipo batteries between visits to the club After the first session the one lipo battery still showed 65percent charge and the other one I did not use and still showed 98 per cent charge do I just store it until my next visit to the field Or do I do a storage charge every time I don't use it for a week or so Or do I re charge every time although having still a 65 percent capacity hope someone can help kind regards glen

Hi all thank you so much for all your help i have today separated the battery from the esc by extending the wires from motor to esc it was quite fidley but there is not much space in the fuss anyway Now for the charger I have looked at the GT Power ed6 a50/90 watt dual input model 1-6cell 1 to 5 amp charging current would this be ok for charging 5000mah 30c 4cell and 5000miah 30c 5 cell lipos kind regards Glen

Hi All thank you so much for all your help and sharing your experience with me kind regards glen

Hi simon thank you for your reply now I know that I will look at getting wire the same gauge as the ESC but it will just bring it further into the fuselage if I extend it do you think it will be ok. If I leave it side by side and will there be enough air flow from the gap between the spinner and body on the cowl I have drilled. Two holes in the fire wall as well i have just joined the local club and hopefully. Learn there they seem a friendly bunch i have retired and bought two kits this SIG and a tony nijheis. Hurricane which I have half built kind regards glen

Hi PatMc thanks for your reply the battery and esc were sized by 4max. The battery has 4 cells which equates to 14.8 volts i could probably slip something between them but it would have to be thin kind regards Glen

Hi All I have just finished a SIG Kavalier and have just purchased a 5000miah 30C battery and 60 amp ESC speed controller the battery and 60A ESC will fit into the nose part of the model but are actually touching side by side i am worried about the heat or is this OK If i Extend the wires between the Motor and the ESC by about 6 inches i could separate the ESC from the battery but is this ok Also the battery wires are a hell of a lot thicker than the ESC wires is this normal sorry to ask daft questions but this is my very first model your help would be really appreciated kindest regards Glen
