i will be taking the batt out from TX to charge laa ... wont be plugging the TX in ... hehehehe
so the niMH will be directly connected to charger and not inside the TX .. i slow and old but not stoopid until like that laa .. hahahahaa

eehh ... the commentary from this video good la .. almost like PCK liau .. please note the hair and boots (too bad not the correct colour) hahahahahaa

i said PROLLY buy the TURNIGY from u la ... but now that cliffang has given me a different option then will have to look into that option oso ma

the other alternative i see in that hotgears place is this one .. http://myhotgears.com/onlinemall/product_i...products_id=427
without AC adapter for much cheaper price ... same model except no AC adapter .. should be the same features la i think since same model/part number .. hehehe

as i mentioned b4 .. the AC adapter can easily be modded from PC PSU which has very stable power supply ... less than rm50

PC PSU easily more than 10A @ 12v ... even for cap ayam PSU .. hehehe
i just opened up my PSU and checked

AFAIK .. ESKY and WALKERA using the 8 x AA laaa
dunno about others ...

the coaxial u can keep and fly indoors lorr ... still fun what ... thats the most important part

whatever u fly ... the most important is is the HAVE FUN and ENJOY !!!

kenny .. your HBFP converted to brushless meh ?? if not why need ESC ??
u sure not the 4in1 kaboom ah ?? hehehe

most of the aftermarket TX (futaba .. spektrum .. JR .. etc etc ) comes with a socket for power inside the batt compartment .. so u can plug in rechargeables with the correct socket ... does not support AA batt in my DX7 i think so must use rechargeables with proper socket
the ESKY one does not have any socket but the walkera one does ... i am using LIPO with JST plug into that walkera socket ... hehehe

Added on May 20, 2009, 8:49 pmbuilding is tedious and slow ... but it is part of learning to fly unless u super rich everytime crash pay other ppl to do it for u laa .. hahahahaa

i think better u put $$ into the HBFP rather than the coaxial la .. hahaha
i got some blades for the coaxial if u want .. left over from previous heli which went bye bye ... hahahahaaa

how come your ESKY tx got socket for battery pack one ah ?? i see mine oso dont have ... the tx from my previous coaxial

dunno laa ... never try b4 oso
but what i do now is use the ESKY for SIM only .. use niMH x 8AA and charger using normal EXTERNAL STANDALONE CHARGER
since u dont have the charger might as well not take the risk and just buy a normal AA/AAA charger from jalan pasar .. cheap cheap

Added on May 21, 2009, 7:43 amyaa .. can bring this sunday IF i wake up in time .. hahahaha
i opened up the ESKY tx to have a look inside and oso to remove the rachet feel of the throttle stick
there is a socket inside thats able to plug direct into LIPO socket but its soldered onto the board and the AA are connected to it .. hahaha
i got extra LIPO for the TX but since have to mod socket and all i just use it for the WALKERA tx which already has a socket ...

now still a toss up btwn the 2nd hand TREX 450 or BRAND NEW CX450 ... since the price not that much diff (actually TREX cheaper)
but at the end of the day it is 2nd hand ...

i have actually been to this shop .. hahaha
15mins drive from my office only
all i can say is its much bigger than hobbysportz la and i can see damm alot of parts .. hahaahaha
but they specialise more towards cars and planes .. last time they clear stock .. beltCP RTF rm499 ... hehehe

i have only been there once .. altho its quite near my office i dont have a reason to go there oso .. hahahahaa
but once i get my heli i might have more reason to go laa
