What batteries are you using for your DLGs?

@CyclingMikey 2 года назад

2s Turnigy cut open in half and then taped up again with kapton tape. Slightly frightening. 300mAh. That's what is recommended by VM for my Yoda.

@IvanMacKenzie 2 года назад

1S 500 to 1S 600 LiPo. Driven by the requirements of mobile phones, almost all "micro electronics" components are now *designed* to operate on 1S.

@Scott_Hudson 2 года назад

I'm using a 1S 350ma Turnigy in my Deviant. I don't believe the ArmSoar batteries were available at the time. I only bought 1 battery to make sure it would fit and balance thinking I'd buy more if it was the right fit. Turns out I can fly well over an hour per session on that single battery. I'll be getting a pack of the ArmSoar ones when I get the needed accessories for my Bamf 2 that's on order :)

@ArmSoar 2 года назад

@@CyclingMikey It's interesting VM is recommending that, I'll need to try the X06's on my DLGs on 2S and see what the difference is.

Armsoar youtube is probably the best site I have come across for great information and explaining how things work, learn something new in most of your information/tutorial videos- Thanks

I've yet to receive my Elf DLG (you gotta start somewhere) but I've found that 150mah 1c 3.7v batteries from companies like swaytronic or eflite with a jst 1.25mm to a JR works pretty well, at least for my receiver (fs-ai6b).

@ArmSoar 2 года назад

Enjoy the Elf, it's such a nice classic model!

@ArmSoar 2 года назад

Pretty much all of those will work on 1S.

@christiancml 2 года назад

Excellent video! Do you have any recommended source for the USB charger for the 3.7v LiPo batteries?

@ArmSoar Год назад

We are just using chips off Amazon :)

@my_dear_friend_ 2 месяца назад

Stupid question maybe: I am used to plugging the battery into the ESC and the ESC into the receiver. Obviously, a glider does not need an ESC. I understand that I need a 1S Lipo to power the receiver and the servos. However, where/how on the receiver do I plug the battery? Do the 1S batteries come with a plug for the three pins in the receiver?

@dbaird46 2 года назад

Hi Thomas. My name is Doug and thank you for your informative videos. I am a newbie to this sport and have not been successful yet in building a foam dlg from scratch...a little too heavy I think. I wonder which model you would recommend that is good for a beginner. I am looking for one that is forgiving in its flight chacterisics and is not too difficult to assemble. Thanks,Doug

@nehok 2 года назад

Hi Doug what is your current skill level? Do you allready fly traditional gliders like a Bixler say?

@ArmSoar 2 года назад

Hi Doug, I’m happy to hear the videos are helpful! For a first DLG, just keep in mind you will most likely damage it and require repairs. A one meter DLG is my typical recommendation because they are much cheaper, there is less momentum so crashes are less damaging, and the short span means you won’t tip strike the wing, all of which means you’ll get more air time and a higher chance of success. Between the Deviant and Mini Dart 2, the Deviant is stiffer and higher performance. The MD 2 is cheaper which helps the wallet when learning, and the XPS foam core allows you to steam it back to mostly the original shape for easier repairs after crashes. Regardless of the Deviant or MD2, I would highly suggest going with four KST X06 servos. No other servo in this size range will give you the centering accuracy like the X06 to properly trim out the model. You’ll be able to reuse those in your next model as well if you damage the first one beyond repair. Hope that helps! If you have questions message us through our US store www.armsoarusa.com.

I have room for a lipo alarm, but 1s batteries don’t have a spare balance lead. Without telemetry receivers - how do you know when you’re running low on juice?

@ArmSoar 2 года назад

Can't believe I didn't talk about this in the video... d'oh!! I have voltage telemetry set to 3.6v (many others use 3.7v).

Using 650 mah 1S removed from Vape sticks The size and shape of a AAA alkaline and weigh ~12 gms also have a built in BMS so just plug in any USB charger. Cheaper to buy complete Vape contraptions ~4$ each and remove the batteries :-)
