Ta Hoppy, several have suggested LiPo. At moment i would like to stick with what i am familiar with until i learn to fly the beast. Will have to consider LiPo for the next aircraft and bone up on their use and maintenance at that stage.
Many thanks Ron and Uncle G for you replies to my query. There seems to be a wealth of knowledge and generosity in our group. Given my total lack of knowledge of things electrical I will chase up the cell purchase option and have a discussion with you prior to unleashing things that go flash bang in the night. I have the one ZOHD battery bought from Hoppy and now have rigged my charger up with 12v leads to connect to my ute battery so i shall have reasonable air time for the moment. The motor cut out on launch I experienced was resolved by Predator and Uncle G as voltage drop on the ZOHD batt and has been prevented by limiting motor to 35% max power.I believe Moose has his limited to 15% and his is flying well. Thanks again.
I would just like to state my appreciation of all those who have made me so welcome and have been so unstinting in their help. Having now pranged the Bixler three times leaving Mike to glue it back together yet again, having one flight with our Top Gun School of Fright and pranged that, I also totally agree that I should be pranging my own in future. Many thanks to all and in particular Predator, Kermit, Uncle G, and Moose who have laboured so unstintingly towards having a geriatric menace to safe flying space. It is a great hobby and you have me hooked.
