Well kiddie winkies. I tested my NIMH 1.5amp 10 cell battery combo I wired together today on my new MEGA brushless 16/25/3 combat motor. It's on a poly propelyne delta wing stryker controlled by a Spektrum DX7 radio. Went well...I am currently "training" the batteries. This means slow charging them to max then running them down and slow charging again. This is repeated a few times. I basically trains the batteries to charge to their max and run to rock bottom therfore getting longer flight times and better running batteries.
Here are some photos and a viddy link.

TODAY MAY BE MAIDEN FLIGHT....depending on the wind.
This below is my "at work" made canopy to cover my electronics. It is .02" PETG plastic and was heat formed over a plaster copy of my plane. Screw buying these things when I can make better ones for free!
Canopy painted...i'm painting a pin stripped one now. I think i'll use it instead
German night fighter styled Stryker (hoping for 110mph at the least)
My next test this coming weekend...F-16 with a bushless and a 1200mah LiPo battery. (hoping for 125mph+)

kewl stuff i used to be into R.C.'s bout ten yrs ago.
when discharging ur batteries for training them for a better result get a tub of water and ice and put a little extra juice drainage into ur batteries for an even better battery life.
My pops used to have a battery line back in the day called(well the first word is a female dog) Bob's badarse batteries. When he worked for a dude named stormer in glasgow, at the time it was the biggest warehouse in the world.
Got too meet Masami, and the guys at Team Losi. Hmm makes me want too go grab my old rc10t2 with hydrodrive.
Anywayz kewl stuff

I could do the water trick, but I bought triton 2 charger that is computer coontrolled for discharging. If you have any old pics of your planes id like to see them.
