[NSRCA-discussion] Blinky balancer

[george w. kennie]

Hi John,
Seeing as you don't already have an Astro charger I would recommend the FMA 
Balance Pro HD unit sold by Fred Marks. Neat unit, not pricey and they claim 
adaptor cables for different battery types to be soon available if not 
already. The unit is self contained and does not require a stand alone 
balancing unit.They discussed this unit at length at a seminar at the Wrams 
show and I was very impressed. They were selling the unit for 117 bucks and 
extolling safe charging "in the airplane" @ 3 C charge rate.
I currently use an Astro and will probably pick up a Blinky, but to be 
truthful with you I would rather sell my Astro and buy the FMA unit.
Georgie
