| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Parked | 26-Mar-08 02:39 |  | | Views : 2136 | | New batteries are installed and decals have been applied. AUW is 58.5 grams, the motor will give a max of 14 grams of thrust and will run for about 40 seconds with most of the power in the first 20 seconds. |

| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 25-Mar-08 13:44 |  | | Views : 1825 | | My $2 pack of replacement 50 mAh batteries for the Corsair arrived this morning, as did an idea I got from a website who I can't site due to uhhhh... operator error on a computer operating system upgrade last weekend. To the post office! |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 17-Mar-08 22:33 |  | | Views : 1780 | | I killed the 2x50mAh NiCd batteries from charging too quickly so I decided to try out a 150mAh LiPo cell and my low voltage protection circuit. The circuit works as designed but I quickly realized I was trying to draw about 3A from a 1.5A rated battery. |
