style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">I’ll toss
out my 2 bits as well…..I bought some MPI generic connector aileron extensions
and while setting up the latest airplane I would get a glitch on only one
aileron.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">Checking
into this I noticed that the black battery wire was a bit loose so I raised
the tang on the connector and found that the gold pin had not been crimped all
the way and the wire was loose. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">I called
MPI and they said send it back so they could look at it….they wouldn’t take my
word for it and just replace it….so I sent it back and bought another one at
the LHS.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">This time I
get a different guy and he checks his notes and says there was nothing wrong
with the extension I sent back…..yeh right…..</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">So I asked
if they were gonna send the same one back and he said no they just returned it
to the stock.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">So I

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN

recently on the flip side of that…..Sonic-Tronics….I called them to get some
advice on how to repair one of their products that broke in use and they sent
me enough parts to fix it 6 more times. Free….without me asking for it……a

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=blue size=2><SPAN

reluctant about running a MPI product is an experience I had with their CH-818
charger.<BR>Just before Toledo I bought one and checked it out with my
VOM. They claim it drops to trickle charge after<BR>it delta
peaks. Mine did not. I talked to them at Toledo where they told me
I didn't wait long enough between normal <BR>charge and trickle. When I
got home I tried it again. This time I let it sit overnight. Guess
what? It not only does not<BR>drop in to trickle but it actually
discharges slightly. We exchanged emails back and forth in which they
said they knew nothing <BR>about it. That their chip supplier had
switched specs on them and that they would change their website to reflect the
<BR>charger's current performance.<BR>I just checked. Two months after
this exchange they are still advertising it as a peak/trickle
charger.<BR>Guess some folks will get a surprise, huh?<BR>JLK<BR><BR>>

personally like the 5.1V regs from Jaccio. But either radio system<BR>>
will not care on any of the 3 choices you have there. Some of the
Futaba<BR>> servos are rated as 4.8V only so this may affect your decision.
But if<BR>> you choose JR servos they can run unregulated 5cell packs just
fine. SO<BR>> any of the voltage choices are good on JR servos.<BR>>
