    The "WeekEnder"

    My Raptor 20 amp weekender with the 4200mAh 65C is temporally tacked together for flight testing. Russian with the R41 1.32 ohm coil. At 25.1 watts was a little more than I like. !7/18 watts is great.:) waiting for a female balancing plug to finish it.

    I have been doing it a long time...:) No sweat factor just common sense and caution. It brings a balancing harness.

    The "WeekEnder"

    Got the 4200mAh 7.4 v shorty in for my Raptor weekender. Popped it open and it has 4 2100mAh cells. two paralleled packs then those 2 packs in series. The 4 cells measure 85x43x23, not bad for 4200mAh 7.4v or 8400mAh 3.7v.

    Another Groove board weekender. The hard case forms the box and a little RC plywood with carbon vinyl should finish it off...:)

    The "WeekEnder"

    We had a power outage last week and my PC, TV, i-pad were shut down, and it was raining, so I couldn’t golf. Therefore, I talked to my wife for a few hours..... She seems like a nice person.;)

    The "WeekEnder"

    I was able to solder the tiny caps and finished wiring my raptor 20 amp. Tested Russian at 1.3 ohms on it at 3.3v to 6.1v. Waiting for my lipo battery and a pretty 510 connector Mike recommended and stuff it all into the box.:)

    The "WeekEnder"

    No switches needed on the Tibs, just buttons and baps said he would design them for shapeway to make them. We need battery connecters and 510 connector. Don't think shapeway offers discounts, but we may save on individual shipping if we combine some other odds and ends. I would like to see...

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    Yep and 70+ fingers and eyes don't help. Can other caps be used on the raptor, some with wire that can be soldered to the pins?:)

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    I received these caps from Mouser. Sure are tiny. How do I solder these parallel? Is there a pos/neg side to them? C3225X5R1C226K250AA

    Got one of these also, I think you recommended it. My 350 batt rattle in it so I had to put an Oring in it. I like the switch better than the Origin. Wish I had ordered the 18650 tube, but I doubt it will take a kick.:)

    Just hemp

    You have to be more specific. we use, hemp twine, fiber, and cloth. Which one are you calling stiff? Was it filler or a wick thru the coil? I have never experienced any stiffness after use and I have some in a fogger that is over a month as filler around a vertical coil.

    Just hemp

    It is nothing like cotton. I also dislike cotton and went to bamboo which was better until I discovered hemp. Or maybe until I rediscovered hemp...:D
