| SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Flying | 19-Jun-08 13:23 |  | | Views : 9017 | | 43F and 1 MPH wind this morning, a touch warm but managable. Later the wind picked up and my landings got rougher which brought to light two issues. The nose wheel cable came loose and the batteries broke through the hatch, time to fix them properly. |

| SteveM | Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 | Build | 18-Jun-08 16:26 |  | | Views : 1040 | | My new battery charger is a battery, kind of like a chicken and egg problem I guess. About 20' of 18 AWG wire connects the Pb-Acid to the LiFe in order to limit current. Then 11.8" of 10AWG makes up my shunt ammeter, 1 mV = 1 A. |

I was able to go home after about 45 minutes of air time as a mild tumble in the grass ripped off the wing and I opted not to do a field repair with CA on account of my allergy. |
