[RCSE] 3 cells or 4?

2006-10-25 Thread Tom Broeski
Getting ready for duration slope flight.  Would it be okay to use a 3000 mAh 
sub C three cell pack instead of a 4 cell pack.  2 Standard servos in 
Gemini.  Could also use Alkaline, or lithium with voltage regulator, but the 
three cell sub-C fit without modification to plane.  Heard that 3 cells last 
longer than 4.  Need some opinions.

One point though. Caffeine is also a diuretic. Just a thought...

I'll prep about 8 to 10 cans of Red Bull for in flight use, and some 
Chimay Blue Label for post flight refreshment. ;-)

Jim,

You don't need no stinkin' Red Bull when the wind dies out 6 hours into the
flight.  You will be moving fast enough.

My buddy Nowell watched 3 movies while he did his 8 and I did my 4.  When
I did my 8 there was enough action going on to keep everyone entertained.
Joe Nave and I were flying Parker like it was a thermal contest, up about
700' above the lip.  It was uneventful, but the guys down lower gave us all
kinds of thrills, especially when the lift cycled big time.
