Well currently I would not be in need of charging 12S 5000 batts. Always possible there will be a need for such capacity, however, for now I see myself charging as high as 6S. No need for much more at this time. Other than the limitation on 12S is there anything else you have discovered which you see as a possible issue and/or shortcoming?

One other thing, as I almost forgot, thanks for your reply. The information you provided is most helpful.

I think about it in a different way. Your generator can supply a certain wattage continuously and a certain wattage peak. If you get a 2200w peak/1700w continuous, you can hook multiple chargers (or devices) up as long as your total draw doesn’t exceed the rated continuous or peaks.

For example, My coffee pot is rated at 1500w. I found that on the label on the bottom. I used a calculator online and found I can charge 1 6s 5000mah pack for about 200w.
A second example is multiple chargers. Six 6s 5000mah at 10a each is about 1800w.

Interesting information...

I have a little off-brand 1000w inverter charger; I can put (4) 5000mah 6S packs in parallel at 5A each on my iCharger 3010, right at it's 500W max on 12V power supply. I have the old HP power supplies to run the charger, and the little 1000W charger will charge those 4 big 6S packs just fine

The generator I bought was also based on my chargers. I have 2 CellPro 10S chargers and a PowerLab8. Currently the PowerLab stays at home but I might get a case to take it with me.

With the CellPro I am a bit limited on charging 6S packs as 5000 mah at 2C is around my max wattage on that charger.

My hands are healing nicely and I was able to get some flying in this weekend after our club meeting.

My wife is on vacation so just time for 2 flights before I needed to get back so my MIL could take care of some things she was in town for.

Cool!!

It's tight a with the landing gear and canopy removed you can fit a 60" Extra NG in the front seat of a 95 Mustang. Looking forward to getting the maiden in today during my lunch break.

Sweet! Mine hasn't even come out of the box yet...

See you should have let me have that last blue and white one. I would be flying today. LOL What servos and power setup do you plan to run in your's?

 

[BalsaDust]

This thing is freaking awesome. XPWR 22cc pulls it around with authority. It can draw nice smooth clean lines in the air and then knock out some wicked tumbles. Figured I needed to rep the hood today wearing my Beaver Bro 2015 shirt.

No way--I like the blue/white much better than the red silver lol. SupaTim hooked me up with the Hobbywing 100A V3, which is part of the new PNP Skywing setups, for my Dualsky 1500-powered Peregrine. The Avian 130 would not stay in sync with the Dualsky. So, Xpwr22 for the new NG, and recycle the Avian 130 for it. Savox 1250's all around for me

Lol. I did to until seeing the red in person. With a 130 amp esc you could prop it harder too. I’m only using an airboss 80. Servos I saved money and went with mks hv69’s. Running them in my duster as well and the are great. Only negative is they are to small of a frame so I had to design and print adapters. You can see them in this photo.

I'd send ya some $$ for shipping and materials if you can make some of those in standard servo-to-mini size. Maybe a few of what you have there too--mini to micro Don't know anyone around here doing much 3D printing...

Let me draw something up and sent you a email template you could print to make work. I get confused on the sizes sometimes. So I know what you meen you want to be able to say install a mks 747 into a hole for a standard like a solar 770???

I been flying the Wht/Bl EF60NG for 1 year now. Some FWIW. info in my research/setup and flight testing.

Very different capable plane using 480/- gram batteries versus.530/+ grams. As well as with/without SFG use.

I've used props from 99amp and 66 amps. Looks like 75-80 is just right for me on a 480Gram HV Lipo.
Still undecided on prop as I have just went to lighter battery this season and have to redo all props to hit the 75amp target.

Props I've flown,
BAD ASS 16X6, 16X7, 16X8
Xoar 17X4, 16X8, 16X7, 16X8
Falcon Carbon 16X7
Flex, 16X6e, 16X7e, 16X8e

This is the servo I got, extremely pleased, so quite and never any center jitters I did have to add velcro on rudder tho.

Servo thoughts, a 15mm spec on servo width is the servo you would want to gear up for. Realize specs are arbitrary as no standardized testing is used and its a CRAZY WILD SWING however one must consider that a motors physical size that is housed within a 15mm case completely could never equal that of one that is the 15mm dim exposed.

I went with this motor:

I plan to downsize once I know what is needed, Currently, rapid throttle changes will get to the 160F esc temps, however a sustained hover sees the lowest @ 125F. These ESC never have any issue with factory settings on all motors from 1805-5050 smooth idles to 10K-21K WOT rpms, weird that it uses a 25deg timing default.

I really like the telemetry MAH used alarms which really makes it less stress when buying better batteries. Timers just don't cut it. Oh and the occasional battery swap of an already depleted when triggers the minimum voltage alarm prior to a MAH alarm..

I do need to check C/g again since the smaller battery will slide under the wing spar tube.
would appreciate some c/g feedback if you got em.
