| Hey Guys,
Just wanted to give my thumbs up (new that they are) to two purchases that have helped out quite a bit. First is the X-treme turnbuckles. Since I have put those on, things in the head are much more stable. Haven't seen any tracking deviations, but then again I'm still learning a hover so can't give you an absolute "buy these and never have an issue".
The other is the BC6 charger. After running my packs (1 @ 1000Mah and 2 more @ 1250Mah)down doing some "RADD-esque" (I call them that because I've altered them a little) training sessions, I used it for the first time last night using the balance mode. Charged each in about an hour, give or take. I'm glad I was reading the forum last night about charge settings. I had the 1000mah pack set at 2C for a while, I did catch it later but I think the majority of the pack charged at it, it's prbably shot now (it was the cheapie/freebee Esky pack that came with the heli anyways). But, I did use the 1C method with the 1250's. At no time (even with the 2C mistake), did the batts get warm. They all took the balance charge well and had no issues. Definately like this charger better that the stock "greenie" one that I got with the package deal. I only hope those 1500Mah packs that I got for a ridculously (sp) low price (2 for 15 bucks plus about 15 to ship) react the same way.
