Yes!

Ugh. Only the first battery showed and the crappy recharger. Takes about 1.5 hours to charge (1.2A max). Monitor and batteries show tomorrow so I can charge a few overnight.
For a 3s 1500, its pretty dang small. LOL

But in a bit I will be ready for my maiden.

[WOMACK03]

My frame came in. Here are some pics of various size quads for scale(no DP can).
SK450, 250 frame, qx130, Main Coon LiveCat(22lbs.), DeadCat camera platform.

Been through two flights so far and having a blast. Thing is really freakin quick. Battery does not last long. Didnt time it but my buzzer is set for 3.4v per cell and went off after maybe 5 or 6 minutes.
I am charging it now and will set a timer to see just how long it flies for as long as its not too dark.... although this thing lites up like crazy. LOL

First flight the battery buzzer wouldnt stop. I got too excited and forgot to set it for 3.4 instead of 4.0v. So I took it off and 30 seconds latter was just able to save it from LVC. Would have been embarresing to crash on the first flight with several people around. LOL

[WOMACK03]

The Afro esc's that im using don't have LVC, for that exact reason. I would rather cook a $20 battery and slowly return to earth.

[LaserSVT]

I dont know if these have LVC. I just noticed he lack of response and hooking the meter to it showed 3.2v per cell.
I just did my first ever night flight. Got 6.5 minutes before the buzzer went off. All three cells are at 3.39-3.41 so I guess i have my timing about right.
Cant wait for the monitor tomorrow! Also I need a better charger.

You did perfect on those discharges, and anything over 5 minutes is a win .Come get that power supply and charger. it is yours(free).

Careful, if they are resting at 3.2v per cell that means that under load you were under 3v and that is for sure BAD for lipos. Actually, anything of a resting voltage under 3.7 is considered real bad.

[LaserSVT]

They were not at 3.2 they were at 3.4 which is what I have my alarm set for. I waited 30 minutes to charge and they were at 3.6ish each. I thought that was close to optimal?

As for the charger, thank you. I am going to order the Imax B6 again. Its $31 shipped and I had it before and really liked it.


Edit: the first flight did go to 3.2 but that was an accident. I hope it didn't hurt the battery but I have two better ones on the way and am gonna order a couple more.

[inline 6]

3.6 is acceptable discharged voltage but I wouldn't push It.

[LaserSVT]

Welp never can help myself. I have two 20-30C batteries i already ordered before I noticed they were 20C normal draw but that was before i ordered the quad.
So I just ordered the charger, two more 35C 1500 batteries and an XT60 to banana plug for the charger and am gonna order some spare props just to be safe. LOL
Man this little endevor hit $750 quick. LOL

Newegg sent me a $15 card for the troubles with the TV so I used that for some clover-leaf antennas for free.

I maidened my second A-10 the other week. I need to find some weight to remove, and smooth everything out because she's real draggy right now.

[WOMACK03]

Awesome Matt.

[LaserSVT]

I love A-10s! That is pretty sweet.
