I bought a couple of these to try out in my Belt CP and more so for my Thunder tiger Mini titan as that has much heavier blades and think it will cook my zippy 20C 2200mah lipo’s 😉

I have run them a couple of times in my Belt CP and they came off only Luke warm after about 5-6 mins hovering and were practically at storage voltage when I put them back in the charger.

You can also charge these at 5C if your charger handles it.

Although for me, charging at 1C is more than okay, or if I dont need them in the near term, at 100ma overnight.

Look promising and great price from GiantCod, will get some more no doubt.

Only bummer for me was I had to change my connectors on the heli’s and other lipos I have to Bullet type Connectors.

Looking for something else , and I came across this.

For those old enough to remember, it used to be run on the BBC and covered all RC models from trains to Planes and Heli’s and Boats, back in the 1970’s!

Hoping one day the BBC will release it on DVD or digital download.

Here’s some video from this years show, video and pics taken by Pete, Rick and myself and thanks to Pete for doing all the editing.

The weather was gorgeous yet again for this years show and some impressive models and flying 🙂

Great fun!

Spent the day again down at this years wings n wheels show in Essex and the weather was just like last year, and that was nice and very warm!

Did not seem as many people or trade stalls there this year, but maybe that was due to England playing in the world cup on the Sunday we went.

Just loved the noise of the turbine jets, they were awesome

Did not get much video from the day though, a bit too hard too keep up with the speed of some of the planes flying around.

Still, great day, great noise and was a lot of fun.
