[NSRCA-dist8] Getting Started

[Karl Watts]

Well thanks to Rick Magnuson I have a radio tray, got a great deal on an old Dubro one from him, thanks again Rick.

Now I need to get this charging thing worked out.  Charging six batteries one at a time after a practice session is crazy.  Got some parallel charge and balance cords from progressiverc, but my deep cycle battery seems to max out at delivering 10 amps to my charger, so can only charge two of my 5C 5000 batteries at a time.  So I have been talking to James at  feathermerchantrc about a 24V/100amp power supply to build a charging box, hopefully will get it this week.  Thanks Pat and Mike for the articles and links to building a box.  Got the box from Harbor Freight over the weekend.  Now just need another charger to compliment the iCharger 208B.  Then there is the challenge of putting it together.

Nine flights on the Insight now.  Need more batteries, three flight packs makes only three flights per session.

Egad, I think I have spent my Christmas allowance already!
