new pack


The Mystery pack arrived from Dealextreme today as well as the lama cnc stuff. The Cnc stuff fitted the commanche perfectly. i will be completing the set-up tomorrow. Everyone has said do not buy the mystery packs. They are cheap (R160) so I thought why not. At the moment I only need power to scoot and hover as i am working hover, nose-in, side-in and orientation. I am going really slowly at this because I have reached the conclusion that rushing is pointless.
Anyway, the pack looks like this,
side on. This pic was taken when the pack was uncharged.....it already looked puffed!!!










It fits nicely in the hbk like so.


The night's flight went well. Did general hovering and moving around with some nose-in etc and also some close calls without bending a f/s, but with blade tips scraped










After 20 minutes of flight on the pack it showed no sag and a volt test showed the cells to be down from 4.15 to 3.83 average. Just slightly warm. Not bad. Lets see how long it lasts!
