RE: [RCSE] New sanyo batteries
I have charged and discharged the 2000mAh AA Sanyo Eneloop cells at a 2 Amp rate and have come up with great results. Months ago I read a thread on RCG stating that the eneloops could not take high discharge rates. I decided to test it myself with a 4 cell pack I had been using on my full house all digital servo sailplane. I first charged the pack with my Sirius Charge Limited Charger hooked up to data logger(The Limited Charges at 2 Amps). The charge curve looked almost identical to a curve made by a NiCd battery indicating that internal resistance is not as high as other NiMh's The charge cycle terminated normally and the pack did not warm up dramatically. I then discharged the pack with a SuperTest Pro at a 2 Amp rate down to 4 volts (1 volt per cell) I still got over 1900 mA out of the pack. I cycled this Eneloop pack repeatedly at 2 Amps and have continued to have good results and will continue to use them in my Full house sailplanes. By the way, I later went back to the RCG thread and found that poor test results reported there were attributed to a loose fitting battery holder.

Yes. The claims about the self discharge rate being extremely slow are completely true. It's extremely nice -- you charge them up, and they *stay charged* even weeks, months later, even in your hot car. The sanyo site says they have reduced internal resistence, but they don't give numbers. This I'm not so sure about. This person measured it -- http://www.stefanv.com/electronics/sanyo_eneloop.html and found an internal resistance of about 0.1 ohm/cell, which would be about 4x the value I've read elsewhere for typical AA NiMH cells. I have not measured the internal resistances of any of these cells, so I can't confirm or deny any of these figures. In any event, the Eneloop batteries are great for my flashlights, the digital camera I leave in my car, etc. They'd be great for TXs as well, especially one you don't charge every time you fly. But if the internal resistances that Stefan measured are accurate, they're not going to be very good for RX packs. They might work OK for a few non-digital servos, but I wouldn't use them anywhere that might draw more than an amp or so. Oh, Stefan says this -- This also accounts for the relatively high internal resistance reported by my battery analyzer. The analyzer measures the resistance either immediately, or when the battery first drops below 1.2V per cell. If it had waited until the cells woke up, it would probably have seen better results. So he doesn't seem to have much faith in his figure either :) -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those days are dead and gone and the eulogy was delivered by Perl. --Rob Pike, on one tool for one job RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Re: ID this used sailplane for me?
It's a Dodgeson Windsong or Lovesong. It is not a Maestro, Maestro Megan,or Talisman. These Dodgeson sailplanes were of a prior generation dating back to the early 70's with a round all glass fuselage. Early versions of the Maestro had a rolled balsa boom. The wing construction on the Maestro series was built up and sheeted with balsa. Your plane can be flown off a Hi-start; I would suggest one from Aerofoam. Mounting the servos in the wing and using electronic mixing could also improve your experience with the plane. This is good sailplane and it will take you a long way.

Re: [RCSE] Shot down personally
Scary thought, maybe there should be assigned channels for backyard flyers. I believe RC Cars have assigned channels - Original Message - From: Loren Blinde [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 10:51 PM Subject: [RCSE] Shot down personally This thread rings close to home tonite. Earlier this evening our club was giving a demo for some school kids at a small field in suburban big-money acreage land. I flew a tried and trusted Quaker old-timer with at least a couple hundred flights logged (yes, it had an engine, no, it was off, but that's irrelevant) and after three successful flights the controls locked up about a thousand feet up and away and the result wasn't pretty. Extensive post-mortem shows the batteries were okay, the servos all function, a range check of the remains was okay and the switch was on and functional. And there were no other participating transmitters on my frequency. Which leads to the interference theory. I've been flying 26 years and have never experienced such an event and have a personal aversion to attributing pilot error to interference; I don't do that lightly. But the nagging thought that keeps coming back (considering the local landscape) is that there could have been someone in the vicinity innocently flying a slow-flyer in the back yard. I can't prove I got shot down, but can't help thinking it. The mass-appeal, anyone can do it mentality that goes with those damnable back yard abominations is going to signal the end of organized RC flying anywhere in radio range of modern suburbia... My personal stance it that I won't buy one, fly one or even suggest that anyone use them to get into the hobby. And if you have one, next time you flip the Tx switch to entertain the neighbors, stop and think about anyone else who could be flying in the vicinity.
