<DIV>That is kind of the plan. I plan to have 5 packs and two charger set ups.
If I show up at the field with 5 charged packs and two full charger setups I
might be able to get in enough practice flights to move from the bottom to
near the bottom in advanced ;o) Now all I have to do is find a way to work
only 4 hours a day so I can fly every afternoon! Not bloody likely.<BR></DIV>

Anthony,<BR> <BR>If you plan on using 3 or 4 flight
packs, one Honda 1000 and Iota 55A is all you need. I take 4 flight packs
to the field and only charge one flight pack at a time. I usually
don't fly more than 6 flights in a session anyway. So I only charge 2
packs at the field most of the time with 4 sets of batteries. Now with the
price of Rhinos and Zippys as they are, you could even go with 6 flight packs
and not need a generator at all<g>. You definitely need a minimum
of two charger setups though.<BR> <BR>

<DIV>I was looking at the 75A model with the built in battery charger but was
not sure if the Generator would put out enough juice? I am having the internal
debate between the Honda I-2000 and Iota 75A or the Honda I1000 and Iota 55A.
It is nice to have the excess capacity and the whole use it at home thing if
the lights go out, but the reality is I will rarely use it at home and rarely
charge more than two packs at a time. My tendency is to travel light and try
to keep the expense down a bit. It's hard when the upgrades are only a little
bit more expensive and a little heavier.</DIV>

What are you going to use at home? The 110V is cleaner and
regulated--there's a better explaination--just don't know it off the top of my
head. Go a few more bucks and get the 75 and you can run 3 Cell
pros full blast--and a fan....<BR>RS <BR>> From:
