[NSRCA-dist8] Need

[alan wellentin]

Hey Karl,
Pretty much the same thing here.  I use two chargers that run on 12 volts and an Iota 45amp power supply.  For a generator, I use a remanufactured Champion that I got off ebay, it's a little heavier than the Honda but it's about 1/3 the price and has been very good.  For chargers, I have an astro 109 and a Bantam IC-6.  Neither charger will pump out huge power, but I can charge my 2, 5S lipos that I use for a flight pack at 2S.  I'm using a case that I picked up from a home improvement store.
I'm using a Dubro tray that I got back in the early 90's.  They are a little expensive, but they last forever.  They can be found used with a  little searching.

Welcome to the pattern circuit, I enjoyed meeting this last weekend.

Karl,

Go on EBay and type in "RC Transmitter tray" and you will find a bunch of them. I got mine from Ebay as well and it's top notch. Most all of them are overseas and will take a couple of weeks to arrive, but at a fraction of what you will pay in the US. 

Your mentor Mike will dial you in on charging stations. Mike can get you going on parallel charging if that's how you want to go. 

Progressive RC in Seattle have systems all ready to go, but they aren't inexpensive.  

Don't short change yourself on chargers. Most guys start out too small and regret it. If you are going to parallel charge I would start out with either a Power Lab 6 or 8, or an ICharger 306B. Add an inexpensive power supply from Feathermerchant.com and you will be good to go.  

I built my whole system into the large Harbor Freight case with two power supplies and two chargers. I'll send you an article I wrote that can give you some ideas.

Hey, I need a couple things.  Looking for sources, new and used, for a radio tray and battery charging station.

Want to add to this with needed supplies for a charging station that I can plug into generator or ac plug.  Want to be able to charge all my stuff in one place, radio, receiver battery, motor battery, etc.  Nice if I can buy all together as a kit, but probably more economical to acquire as an itemized list and build myself.
