Sounds like arcing from a loose battery connection. I've seen this cause a screw
terminal to melt completely off the lead bus bar
(or whatever you want to call it) inside a battery from this. This is on a battery
which has M8 male screw terminals instead of the
usual lead stub.

IPD cannot improve the integrity of the actual RF link. That link is
the link between the rf module in the tx and the decoder in the rx. The TX
side is basiclly a normal PPM modulation. That is transferred to a standard
FM rf signal (same as PPM and PCM!). The only difference is the ab

If you know how to handle your Stratus in a bit of wind, you should have NO
problem sloping your local dam,
In your own words, Gordy, let's stick to sailpanes. We can all do without

No biggie. I think a history of model airplanes could be written centered

What you are looking for is carried by Hobby Lobby. HLKM52 Jig ($31.90), and
HLKM52HT Soldering Iron Tip ($8.80). Tin the battery contact points, (not
much needed), put the cells in the "V" groove jig, with the "T" iron tip
between them, (just a second or two is needed), pull the iron out and let
OK- so lets have the hard numbers-Was it a 10 foot difference, or 100 feet ,
or a 1/4 mile difference. You certainly don't expect us to take your word for
it do you? ;-)

Simple test take a radio that goes PCM and PPM take three receivers wad up
the antennas on the receivers and place them on a wood table off the ground
all three in a row all on the same channel.
Now do a range test ONE at a time PLEASE. SAME TX, SAME Battery pack in TX

The basic problem here is that 90 ft comes with high wind,
the wind comes with lots of vertical and horizontal air movement,
in 72 seconds you have
There have been some bad pins in some of the batches. The last couple dozen I got in
(put them in all my 2M planes) and sold many for slope planes, have been great.

I would really like to try slope soaring, but live in an area that is flat

I do have a small earth dam a few hundred feet from my house that separates

more, n
