Funny you should say that, yes I did but no response. I have done further calibration and it burst in to life when I went left stick bottom left and right stick bottom right or thats what I thought the combination was. I must confess I had reached the point of frustration and was moving the...

I have just taken my Phantom out of the box and powered it up for the first time. I successfully did the Compass Calibration but waiting for it to power up ready for flight all is not well. The motors will not power up at all and didn't straight out of the box before the Compass Calibration. I...

Cheers Chris

As I understand it the charger just treats it as a larger capacity pack when connected in parallel for example 6 x 3S 2200mah. The charger treats it as 1 x 3S 13200mah pack. It is not uncommon for larger capacity packs supplied to consist of smaller capacity wrapped together and wired in...

I am confused now. I understood that as long as you were charging identical type such as 3S you could parallel charge and videos I have seen show the iCharge 206B being used to charge 6 x 3S at a time warning they should be at a similar state of charge. The video above shows it being done and...

Thanks Chris. I know the iCharger 206B only comes out of the box with the ability to charge one battery at a time. However, I have seen a couple of Videos and many of the suppliers have the leads required in stock to charge up to 6 batteries in Parallel at a time either using Octopus style...

Thanks for the info guys. Thanks especially to Chris for taking the trouble to send me various links. I know the information is already on the various forums and you guys probably get fed up with Newbies asking the obvious but it really is a headache trawling through all the information...

Stick a power supply on the price and it makes a difference though.

Thanks for the advice Chris. I am looking at one of these http://thunderpowerrc.com/html/TP610CACDC.html I have the charger that came with The Phantom so that would make 2 chargers, plus this one appears to let me charge to a storage level. It is most unlikely I will progress to anything...

I use many re charge batteries in cameras, sat navs, power tools etc and they benefit from a breaking in cycle of fully charging, fully draining repeated a couple of times to condition them. It is then recommended to keep them in a fully charged state and certainly not leave them drained for...

I'm very tempted to give your mount a whirl Breezemont. Just how easy is it to assemble? It might sound a daft question but in the first place I have hands like shovels. Too many motorcycle incidents and some Bennetts Fractures have left me with arthritis at the base of the thumbs and a poor...

Hi folks. I am a complete Newbie as far as RC is concerned although I am pretty handy on the XBox I guess RC doesn't have the "I don't fear the consequences" of the XBox though I'm a British Ex Pat now living in The Austrian Alps living a dream. My main hobbies are winter sports and summer...
