I&#8217;ve been wanting to get a 3S 11.1V pack for my Super Cub for a few weeks now, but haven&#8217;t wanted to pay the hefty price tag that comes with all that juice.  But the deal they were offering was too good to pass up, a mere $23 for a 3-cell, 2200mAh, 12C li-po pack.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen a pack like that for so cheap.  As of last night he had 20 packs in stock, as of this afternoon he had -2.  Apparently I wasn&#8217;t the only one who realized this smoking deal.  I should have bought two!  I can&#8217;t wait to check out how this puppy works in my Super Cub.  I&#8217;m looking forward to the 20+ minute flight times and all that power.  At least the ESC should be able to handle it, that much I know.  <\/p>\n<p>I added some real thin steal wire, thin like fishing line (.018&#8243; thick) in place of my broken wing struts.  They do a great job of keeping the wings in place while flying around.  I also added the same steal wire to the rear elevator and rudder, so it totally stabilizes the rudder and elevator better.  And it looks kinda cool too.  I broke two more props over the weekend also.  I think that&#8217;s a total of 7 props I&#8217;ve broken.  You&#8217;d think I&#8217;d have figure it out by now.  The last prop I broke wasn&#8217;t even a worthy break, I was doing a ROG takeoff and as soon as the tail lifted off the ground, the prop came down and must have hit a rock or something because it hit the ground and snapped the prop in half.  I&#8217;m down to my last one before I have to buy more. I&#8217;m excited for my new 3S li-po to come though, it should be fun trying to install it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Propeller Mortuary<\/strong><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.danmarx.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/brokenpropellers.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt='brokenpropellers.jpg' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an email from Mike over at cheapbatterypacks last night saying he was doing a huge blowout on all PolyQuest li-po battery packs, and once they were gone, they were gone for good.
