    Charging 7.4v LiPo from Car's 12v system

    Yes, the rest of the scope is definitely well made! The 20" primary mirror alone cost over $3000. I also added wheels & handles to the 16" Meade Lightbridge as well.

    Charging 7.4v LiPo from Car's 12v system

    I'm the man to talk to about it! Yes, a quality telescope is expensive. The one shown was custom made for me, and had a light-grabbing 20" mirror! I had over $7000 wrapped up in that scope, and it wasn't even a tracker! The 6" Finder scope mounted on it was a great little scope in its own...

    Charging 7.4v LiPo from Car's 12v system

    BTW, Mr. Moderator...that 8" scope was my smallest Astronomical telescope. I've also owned 10", 11" 12" 16" 17.5" and 20" scopes...some tracker types and some manual. Here are p1cs:

    Charging 7.4v LiPo from Car's 12v system

    That looks like its unnecessarily technical, holtneil...I'll just buy a couple spare flight batteries and charge all 3 at home before going afield! I'm used to doing such electronic tune-ups as calibrating the Right Ascension tracking rate of Computerized Astronomical Telescopes. The rate is...

    Shooting....a sad state of affairs.

    I reload for only .45 Long Colt. The Ruger Blackhawk is so strong that Magnum loads are permitted. I settled on 9.0 grains of Unique over a 200 grain semi-wadcutter...this gives me about 1000 FPS and 444 FPE. Hal

    You are so right! She uses a Ruger .22 cal. Mark II Semi-Automatic Target Pistol. (Bang.) I use a Ruger .45 cal. Blackhawk Single-Action Revolver. (Boom!) Hal

    Attaching A Higher Capacity LiPo To Your TX?

    I haven't bought another battery...yet. Besides, I've had my Quad for 17 days and haven't flown it yet, so I don't know anything...just getting information. Hal

    Battery Connector Types?

    What type of connector is used on the 1300MAH Li-Po TX battery of my Hubsan H501S? (See pic.) I want to order a 2000-2500 MAH Li-Po to velcro to the back of the TX for longer times between charges. I'm not sure if it's a Deans connector, so what type do I need to connect to the TX? Thanks...

    Attaching A Higher Capacity LiPo To Your TX?

    Yes it did: 1300 MAH at 7.4 volts. My flight battery is 2700 MAH at 7.4 volts. Dan installed a 2000 MAH Lipo to his TX which he says lets him make several flights before showing any discharge on the battery life indicator. Hal
