    The "WeekEnder"

    That is what I have been using on all mine, but for tight fits I think the silicone is easier to mold into small spaces.:)

    Cotton wicks do not expand?

    Expanding or swelling of cotton or hemp is commonly given as a reason for choking the wick and dry hits. Big myth, IMO. If it doesn't wick, you wrapped it to tight to start,:) has nothing to do with expansion or swelling. In lab test using the kerosine lamp method, could never replicate that...

    MVP 2.0 Battery Change Project

    The MVP uses two lipos in series 7.4v. It is a stepdown regulator and not a boost regulator like the DNAs that increase the 3.7v up. So you will always need two batteries 3.7v in series for the MVP board. Here are 4 cells (2100mAh same as in the MVP) 2 parallel then the two parallel packs in...

    The "WeekEnder"

    ?@Bap or anyone who knows. MVP uses two 2200 mAh lipos in series, so I assume the charger in it is a balancing charger? It has three wires coming out of it. Innokin itaste MVP issue - YouTube If true these would be good for mods like the Raptor that use batteries in series. Wonder if...

    The "WeekEnder"

    I also received the Aqua. You guys make me order things I do not really need..:facepalm: I was looking forward to doing a double vertical on the Raptor. The FT Aqua did not impress me. One knurled nut and one knurled screw on the posts.??? Neither very sturdy for thick wire double coils, so I...

    The "WeekEnder"

    After hearing so much aclaim from Mike and Bap about the TFGT, I decided to go back and see why I could not get mine to work. They kept flooding. Someone put up a site with a flight manual for it and now they are flying straight and level.:) I was thinking the flooding was thru the juice...

    The "WeekEnder"

    Remembering my days when I got my AP mechanic training and license, (requirement for the mechanical aeronautical engineer degree), we used a lot of solid rivets on airframe repairs. Me thinks they would make good push buttons for the on board DNA switches. Now where to find them in small...
