<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: "Ron Barr" <rsbxon@ev1.net> <BR><BR>> Sorry that I am a little late in responding .... <BR>> <BR>> I am also using these batteries by Falcon. I have 2 sets and have about 20 <BR>> flights on them. I am pleased with the performance so far. I am flying <BR>> them in a 10 pound 12 oz Genesis that I built from a CA kit (Hacker C50XL13 <BR>> motor). <BR>> <BR>> I am impressed with the overall concept of exactly matching cells: <BR>> Capacity, Impedence and voltage. The batteries come with a "pedigree" to <BR>> certify that the cells are matched. I also purchased the available voltage <BR>> checker to allow monitoring of each cell set. Also there is a balancer <BR>> available to balance the cells. So far the balancer has not been needed to <BR>> any great extent. The voltage checker allows you to monitor individual cell <BR>> set performance under all conditions: charging , discharging and still. <BR>> <BR>> Lastly the batteries are 5S2P. This obviously means there are half the <BR>> cells of the 5s4P type of batteries. This appeals to me in that the since <BR>> there is half the number of cells, the probability of failure may be <BR>> reduced by a factor of 2 given all other factors are the same. <BR>> <BR>> The proof of the concept is in the actual performance and we are well along <BR>> that path now. I will say that Falcon has been around for a while and has <BR>> a solid reputation. <BR>> <BR>> Like Earl I purchased my batteries and am not sponsored. The owner is <BR>> George Harrington and he is a solid guy who also flys. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Ron Barr <BR>> AMA 6507 <BR>> Team Futaba <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Stuart Chale" <SCHALE@OPTONLINE.NET><BR>> To: "'NSRCA Mailing List'" <NSRCA-DISCUSSION@LISTS.NSRCA.ORG><BR>> Sent: Thursday, M
