Many thanks for all the information on mounting batteries in series to
gain MaH. Here's a quick summary of what I've gotten:
- It's not a good idea, but it works just fine anyway
- It's OK if the batteries are charged separately
- It's OK if the batteries are charged at the same time
- It works
Greetings!
We use the Kangke Monocoupe ARF! Powered by the Moki 2.10 . But the biggest
glider we can tow is the 6.5 Nimbus..About 20LB's. And you have to be fairly
smooth. Anything 4.5 meter and smaller, The Monocoupe works very good.. And
looks good as well!
A 30 LB Ventus? How cool! looks like

Hello all,
I picked up this used RnR Viper from Greg Smith of Slopeflyer.com a
couple of years ago but have never flown it. It's too nice of a plane to
sit in my basement rafters any longer.
I've seen this plane fly in Greg's very capable hands and it screams. He
tells me that this particular
I've been cleaning out my shop and came across these plans that I'm never
going to get around to building
MU13-D3 1/4 scale 4M late 1930's sailplane. These plans are by Cliff
Charlesworth in England. This is a very extensive plan. Plans have 2 6" rips on
one end, easily repaired. $40.00
ARF tow planes are a little tough to come by. If I wanted to get a tow plane
now I would just get a Pegasus from Derstine and put a DA 100 on it. You
will have a tow plane capable of towing just about anything (including a
10-meter, 67 pound SB-10) that will be a true workhorse.
For a scale plane
Just in time for the one-design race season...
This is a complete Hammerhead kit I purchased from Denny Maize a couple
of years ago and have not yet found the time to build it. It's still in
the box.
Denny sells these kits for $189. I'll part with this one for $150.
Thanks,

Very well stated. I'm sorry the answers have been so mixed and muddled.
Bottomline: You'll be fine 99% of the time.
It is only that tiny 1% (most likely even less) that made me express some
concern. In truth Nicads are very durable and NiMHs are pretty tough too.
You can certainly use them in
Technically not considered a good idea. But many do it.
Huh?
I was only cautious about the possibility of problems that could occur and
then be falsely blamed upon the paralleled battery installation. Such as
hard, fast charging, poor connections, mixed cell capacities, mixed cell
ages,

For that size sailplane, you are looking for a tug with a minimum of a Zenoah G62 or Brison 3.2 up front (4-5 Hp) and ~1600 sq in wing area. Several ARFs
Gee Bill most LiPo flight packs are series cells and many are parallel.
