I wanted to relay some of my experiences with this great model:
I have switched to a 4-cell 50 mah battery and now have the weight at
101 g, or 3.5 oz. I did not have good luck running 3 cells with the
the GWS nano rx. (Worked ok, but got jitters after 9 minutes due to
low voltage). I have obtained a stash of Contest grade balsa and am
now starting a new build.
Also may go to Lithium cell. By the way, is a voltage reg needed for
lithiums? and unrelated do you folks unplug/plug the batt into the rx
for on/offf or do you use a micro switch and charge jack between rx
and batt? I am afraid of wearing out the rx connector pins.
Meanwhile, this one flies great!! I can literally fly it in my
suburban back yard-- just chuck it up and circle around over the
house and yard. I can even get a little slope lift off the back
fence! What a kick.
