Just ran across your channel nice! I love seeing other builders. I just moved to TN. And will be building a new workshop. So, I liked your workbench episode
Hey Dan, new subscriber here. Thanks for helping keep this hobby alive! Just discovered your channel the other day and absolutely love the content. I’ve been out of the hobby for quite a few years but I have just started a scratch build dhc-2 beaver on floats. Keep those videos coming!
De Havilland Beaver.... Thats a beautiful plane. My friend Mark just bought a kit made by a gentleman that placed at the AMA Nats in scale a few months back. Its a big one. Thanks for the kind words. Welcome back to the workbench.
Hi Steven, when it comes to charging on the go I have a couple different options and it depends on the chemistry of the battery. Rule number one. Never charge Lipo chemistry batteries on the go or in the car. I leave those for home base and with a fire extinguisher pointed at it the whole time. I just don’t trust them for unattended charging. So that said…. I have a Venom Quad charger that can let me run charge to four different batteries at the same time on the way to the field or home. It is AC and DC with proper connections. My ignition packs are usually Nicad or Nimh and onboard packs are LiFe(A123). I also use an old Sirus charger for Nicad or Nimh ignition packs. It doesn’t require programming so it’s a quick connect and go. Most of the chargers available are using the same programming. I have seen the same programming in many different boxes and brands so I’m pretty sure they are all being made in the same factory in China. The Venom Quad is nice because you have 4 chargers in one place each with 100 watts of bam instead of sharing wattage and reducing them by how many chargers are active. Hope this helps.
I use one of those switches as a safety between the ESC and RX on my electric airplanes. Plug in the battery, wait for the ESC to arm then flip the switch to boot the receiver. Thanks for the heads up on the Rotozip.
A simple TASK FOR US OLD SCHOOL SCALE BUILDERS. BUT WELL DONE DAN FOR SHOWING THE NEW GENERATION MODELES 👍.

Love your stuff Dan, thanks
You mentioned charging battery on the way to the field. What kind of ‘mobile’ set up do you have?
