Re: [RCSE] BAD VENDOR REPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes it takes 10 or 12 cycles for a battery to get ramped up,especially if it's been unused for a long time.What brand are the cells? --- Todd Larsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I should have listened to a LOT of your guys' advice regarding BATTERIES AMERICA...what a JOKE of a company. Past experiences were nominal like wrong items shipped only to have me ship back to wait and wait to finally get what I originally ordered.dealing with RUDE people on their phone..receiving a couple RX packs that didn't even SNIFF the capacity level AFTER a 24 hour charge with my Sirius Pack former..get the runaround over the phone about NOT PROPERLY CHARGING, etc. Like a Dumb-dumb I keep loyal and try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Recently (the past 2 and 1/2 years) I have had THREE painful surgeries on my FEET that has hampered me to do much flying...or anything at all at that. Prior to my second operation I purchased servo's and batteries for upcoming projects once I am back on my feet. Well a THIRD operation was necessary, unfortunately.and am now getting projects completed. I cycled a 2100 mah pack , recently, which I purchased roughly a year ago and have not touched IT or the other products like Volz servo's and another RX pack from a local hobby store, and it cranked out a wopping 510mah after a 24 hour trickle charge. I then re-cycled it for another 24 hours and it really jumped BIG TIME to 710mah!!! Its a 2100 mah pack The other pack I purchased from a hobby store cycled up close to where it should be and has been working quite well. I asked a friend regarding this matter and He felt one of the cells went bad. I phoned BATTERIES AMERICA to have someone tell me I am a big boy and I NEED to accept REALITY, in that, its been over a year and thats that. I told them I understand , BUT, the pack has NEVER EVER been cycled...EVER. They claimed that I am not being realistic, as I agreed it has been a year BUT I am honest and have NEVER touched the battery or cycled it EVER. I re-coiled and stated back at them then your telling me that NONE of your packs haven't sat on the shelves for a year...TWO...or more?? How am I to know they didn't ship me a 2100 mah RX pack that hasn't been collecting dust on their shelves for a year or two or three He said THAT is immaterial...I asked how? I asked can you tell me right now that ALL your packs are LESS than a year old and all cells used to put the packs together? He bobbled about only to say how its NOT THE SAME POINT , its immaterial to my point and matter and He can't state they ONLY have batteries put together in less than 12 months. What a joke of a company...I have had other problemss and have read some of your guys' NIGHTMARE dealings with these people. I am the one to blame as i should not have done any business with these people after the humiliating conversations and lack of prodcing a product accurate with its description and expected performance. For a measely 20-30 bux they lost a LOYAL and HONEST customer. BTW...the VOLZ servos and the DS368's from Johnny Berlin fired up GREAT and the other battery I purchased that sat around until I recovered from my painful nightmare cycled up and is working very well. I just don't get it. How petty are these people and what TERRIBLE business practices they have. I recently sent in a $30+ servo I bought from JR that stripped out and they replaced it with a NEW ONE...no questions asked. How can a 2100 mah battery that was NEVER cycled by the buyer be so bad after sitting in my drawer awaiting my recovery? I wonder how much people like this TIP a WAITRESS or WAITER after dinnerhow straight-up LAME and CHEAP! I will NEVER buy a THING from them EVER AGAIN. Thanks for the bandwith and sorry you guys had to hear me piss moan and groan! :O) For what its worth there has to be a better place to find GOOD quality batteries at competitive pricesBATTERIES AMERICA has a serious problem with QUALITY of some of their productsI know because THIS is not the first time a complaint has been logged on here reporting this kind of situation. What babbling idiot I sound likeyikes! :) Thanks for reading/listening to this pathetic story! RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Power System for Wind Dancer
I recommend a geared Hacker B20-15L turning an 11x6 to 11x8,powered by a narrow 2100mah 3S LiPo,such as the Thunderpower.I have this setup on a Pulsar and it is very strong and light.Even lighter(but a little less powerful) would be the geared B20-12L with a 2S LiPo and the same prop. It's a little pricey,but hey,you didn't scrimp on the plane. ;) --- Jack Suder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am in the process of assembling a Denny Maize (Polecat Aero) Wind Dancer and would like to know what motor system some of you are using.

RE: [RCSE] gliderworld1 - Poor salesmanship
The neutral feedback doesn't affect his percentage.Responding with a negative does,and is more than a little spiteful in my book.While the shipping price is clearly stated in the auction,maybe the buyer thought he was getting a book,justifying the expense. BTW,charging exorbitant shipping prices to bypass or recover ebay fees is against ebay rules,but done frequently. Back on topic,who is Gliderworld1,and was the information supplied worthwhile?What upstart/highstart is supplied in the $29 package on the gliderworld1 website? --- glide [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The cost of shipping is *clearly* stated on the auction. Questions could have been asked prior to bidding. If you can't resolve your issues with the seller, deal with it and move on.

Nope, he didn't bother to resolve this before sending the negative, either. Gliderworld1, I am still open to resolve. A simple apology for the NEGATIVE is all that is required.

Re: [RCSE] Slope Sites in Western NC
The Lump,also known as Tom Dooley(Deulah?)Overlook is around mile marker 265 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.You'll need a South,East or Southeast wind to fly there.Southwest maybe.You will be 2-3 hours away from The Lump.Head toward Boone and hit the Parkway somewhere around Boone.DON'T take the Parkway all the way or it will be a LONG,slow ride(although very pretty) Warning:Off Topic! I was just in the Fontana Lake area a few weeks ago motorcycle riding.Spectacular roads for riding.Cherohala Skyway,Deals Gap(HWY 129),74 around the Nantahala River,HWY 28,etc. etc.. If you can't find a slope,rent a bike! --- Randy Bullard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't know why nobody else has answered this since as far as I know other people still fly there and I don't. When I lived in NC, I flew The Lump near North Wilkesboro. I think it's highway 16, but just go north from town and take a left once you get the Blue Ridge Parkway. Follow the Parkway for few miles and there will be a parking lot in front of a large grassy hill. Park there, hike up the hill and fly till you drop. In the summer, lift will be there until after dark. You will need a short high start to get your plane over the tall trees in front. If there is lift, there is always somebody flying there on the weekend and often during the week. Randy Bullard RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Hobby Horse
OK,I ordered an Evo 9(w/scanner) from them a couple of months ago.This was a few months after Evos were being advertised in the mags as shift selectable.When mine arrived it was not shift selectable.I emailed Hobby Horse about the ads I had been reading,and the lack of shift selectability.The only option I was given was to buy the interface cable ($40).I knew that I could send the radio in to Hitec for the upgrade,but chose to buy the cable(from Sirius).You would think the dealer would know this. I knew about the software issue,so it was no biggie to me.If I had not known,and purchased a $600 radio,only to be told it would cost an additional $40 to make it work,I would have been ill. I have purchased many servos from Hobby Horse in the last few years,some rather expensive.I will not buy more from them. --- Nick Trubov [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Several years ago ...
