My charger was old enough that it was no longer in production so no free replacement or deal on a new one. But the new one (a/c d/c) works great. Both with the engine running and not running. At...

Contacted Hyperion

I contacted Hyperion and they said that the charger should work OK with the engine running. They also gave me a series of questions to answer about while chargeing.

Before I attempted to use the...

Damm, don't know what I'm going to do when I eventually get a 5 or 6 cell 5000 milliamp warbird! Never mind a twin warbird.

It is still a mystery to me because I don't manually change the setting at the field because of the built in memory. The charger has a memory for 20 different settings. I have two settings for each...

Hi all,

I only assumed (I know the old joke) because the problem started after a few engine starts and a few times charging with the motor running. Also a club member was of the opinion that as...

You are probably right about not starting the car while the charger is connected. I did that a few times!

Great flight and I loved the holding the nose up landing! Took mine to the local R/C club's annual cookout, everyone enjoyed seeing the Shuttle, they are crowed pleasers!
