If it climbs when inverted the c of g is way too far back, no matter what the plan says!

Totally agree with that, even other pilots get really irritated by it.

I'd be a bit wary of using that for servo plugs, the problem is a propper dedicated servo tool has a step in it, one side of which crips onto and holds the insulation and the other side crimps the smaller crimp onto the bare wire which makes the electrical connecion.

You could simply use a 5 way Henly Block to connect the PSU +ve and -ve to the same from the four chargers if you don't need to disconect the chargers.

This is really strange, I don't think I've ever had a problem accessing pages, certainly never noticed any decrease in speed, I use chrome on what is a very fast PC with fibre internet and I'm on here viewing every day several times a day. Phil

A great day for practising at Hurley today, with a successful maiden of the Glacial at the rear.

For the same weight obviously tube will be much better at resisting ant tendancy to bend.

Same source as they use to get the C rating for LiPo's 🤣

If the model flops easily to the U/C then a few suggestions, it likely (as has been said) hasn't achieved full vertical so is still leaning towards the U/C, try doing it in front of you model side towards you to check vertical is actually being achieved, and if you can, max out the rudder throw, the more the better, you actually need more than a bit of power, I do stall turns at half throttle and chop the power as I hit the rudder, in a true stall turn the model has stopped so the one and only thing that is going to turn it is the prop wash over the rudder, so you need more than just a bit of power.

There is actually a really easy way to do this, E Flite range of motors are named after their 2 stroke glow equivalents exactky for this purpose so an E Flite power 46 is the electric equivalent of a .46 glow. Of course you don't need to actually use E Flite motors just buy one of the same size, KV and max amp rating from another range. No need to complicate it more than that.

Or you can put the prop on and run the motor up slowly, if you sstart to approach the max current rating before full throttle is reached then it's to big, as said above you can go down in either pitch or diameter it all depends on type of model it's in, an aerobat might use something like a 14X10 something scale would use more diameter and less pitch.

You need either a watt meter or the appropriate telemetry sensors, a 500kv motor is probably suitable for 4 to 6 cell LiPo's, 500 watts at 6 cell 24 volts (roughly) is around 20 amps. Most motor makers quote max current rather than max wattage because it's the current that will destroy the motor if exceeded.

You are looking to not exceed the current rating of the motor.

Close, I only charge my LiPo's to 4.17 v per cell anyway which is about 96% so 4.18 will be 97%-98% charged.

Likewise with 3 TX's and their modules and over a dozen receivers, all done OTA, the only issues I've seen on the FrSky facebook group and RC groups have been down to user error, most if not all resolved with doing a wired update.
