[NSRCA-discussion] Transmitter Tray

[Leonard Rudy]

Does anyone know where to get a transmitter tray that is metal with shoulder straps
and side boards where you can rest your hands while controlling the transmitter sticks?

Hi Mike,
The FlitePower F3A 5350 packs are two, 5-cell packs that are matched to each other. I know that FlitePower makes a big deal about keeping each 5-cell pack with its mate. I've kept track by numbering the packs and keeping the number 1 pair together, the number 2 pair together, and so on. I've been using them since the start of this season with good power and consistency. My understanding is that the matching results in a pair of packs that balance well to each other resulting in less work for the balancer, particularly when charged in series as a 10S pack. That's been my experience so far with about 40 cycles on each pair of packs. I have 4 pairs. Three of those were purchased at the start of the season. The fourth set was used by a friend briefly last year and found its way into my "fuel box". All four pairs consistently put out the same power. Hope this helps.

A related question: Is it true that the cells are "matched" in a pack? If so, what advantage would that have?
 
Thanks, Michael Ramsey

Yes :)


If a cell puffs it is easier to replace in a 5 cell pack.  Also cheaper to replace a 5 cell pack if a cell goes pre-maturely and you do not like to replace cells.  You might find use for a 5 cell pack by itself.  Smaller plane, Heli etc.  The downside is that you have to add a little weight for a Y connector to connect both packs.  
A 10S pack is a "little" easier to secure in the plane.  I will probably only buy 5 cell packs from now on.  Currently trying out the True-RC packs.

Other than cooling is there any down side to a 10s brick as apposed to two 5s packs?
