Sitting down, facing forward.
It's really ironice when you think about it. As voters we're used to "holding our nose" when we vote. This year, the leadership of both parties is stuck holding their collective noses with candidates that are pretty poor and questionable. What goes around comes around. The big "plus" for DT is that he's an outsider against the penultimate insider in HC. Overall, not much of a choice though, but remember one thing, the Supreme Court and what that can do with a few new judges.

It's not my nose I hold onto when voting.... Yeah, you think Trump would wise up by now and knock of the bar room talk. Someone needs to get through to him before he does real damage, if it isn't already too late. Anyone other then the b-witch!

Dry and windy
I have more then enough 200's and a couple spare boards. I have one 75 built running on 18650 and another board, I'd like to try a 75 with lipo's and see what it gets me. I just like to tinker and experiment, I can always put the dx back, that would give me something more to do.

Did any pictures or comments happen yet? I for one would like to see/know how it worked out! :):pop:

Well with the 75 in a DX with the three 950 mah lipo's below,
Turnigy nano-tech 950mah 1S 25~50C Lipo Pack (Fits Walkera V120, X100) (US Warehouse)
I gained a little as far as run time over what I get with my other DX's but not enough to make it worth while. Going to pull the 75 and put the 200 back in the DX, did take any pics but I will when I pull it down. Have thought of trying the 75 with five of those cells and see what that gets me, I have three more of them. Five of them will fit in a ERM+, actually six will if I peel the outer wrap but they will be flat on their side and one tight against the board.

I asked on the other forum how hot the inductor's get on the 75 wondering if would be too hot for a cell laying against them, VB told me he heard around 150F-ish and that the 75 heats up faster then a 200. With another 75 in an old Hana 30 clone mod running on an 18650 I can pop the cover off and have access to the back of the board. I took my FLUKE meter and a bead probe, Fluke - 80BK-A - Shrouded Banana Plugs -40 to 260 degC Probe, Temperature - Allied Electronics (forgot I had that) taped it to the back of each inductor (one at a time) and push the 75 harder then I vape, the temp got up to 108F. So the cells would be safe with that temp for my use, but there just wouldn't be enough room with six of them in a ERM+ for them to puff as they age over time, five would be the "safe" limit.

Been busy around here with summer winding down, so much to get done before fall, not much time for tinkering with mods. Later when things slow down and before I pull the 75 from the DX, my thought is to pull the three cells I have in the DX battery pack, solder up two more cells, tape them up to the mod and just try it out for a few days before pulling an ERM+ apart.

This is a first, walked out to the back porch and there was a hawk sitting on the flower trellis 20 yards away from the house. We have a few bird feeders and lot's of birds from humming to large jay's, morning doves and even a pigeon now and then. But I'm betting he spotted some of the red and grey squirrels that visit the feeder daily, some of them make a dash across the long open back yard from the woods. Eagles were rare around here until just the last few years, now they have grown to the point it's common to see them circling high above the village. Wonder if eagles ever go after hawks as a competitor for food?

That deal has been going on for a while now Willy :)
Made my first trip to the local B&M today :) Boy are they behind the times :(
The lady there didn't even know what a DNA was. Despite not having up to date hardware their hardware prices weren't as bad as I thought they would be :)
They have a huge tasting bar there, I tried several juice brands, meh, Mine are way better!
You can tell they make their money on juices, plenty of it in stock :)
At 22.00 for 30mils their making a good profit for sure.
A few years back I wanted to start a B&M here locally, just get it going & hire people to keep it running.
I should have cause I could have had a way better shop than that going by now for sure.
I could be making a killing now off home brew DIY juice! Even if I sold hardware at or near cost!
I thought with my construction Business taking up most of my time all summer long it would be too much on my plate. Hind sight is all ways 20 20 :(

Probably just as well at this point as eventually more restrictive legislation and application/licensing fees will reach across the border
