Cod, have you contacted Sai Sir once..? first of all please contact him and tell him about this problem of missing the instruction.. he will help you without fail.. and, will you add some more photographs of this charger..? means sides and bottom.. and is that for 2 cells or 3 cells..?

i sent a mail to him :), the bottom has nothing, just black surface, its something like IMAX B3 without the ac adaptor i guess, so i will surely need a power supply of some kind. however i am a bit afraid of using such a charger for lipos? are they safe or should i invest around 2k for good  chargers with screens which give every information needed?

Cod, these kind of chargers need an external power source, to energize the charging circuits, including the balance process.. so, usually a 1500 mA, or 2000 mA DC eliminator is good.. but as there is no instruction, you have to disassemble the case, to determine the input pin configuration for + and - of the input pin terminals.. and to recharge the LiPoly battery, do not need any complicated chargers, but in my experience the Imax B3, or Turnigy similar is good... for a professional charger like with screens and programming, you must clearly need the ideas that to be going to do.. i trust on Imax B3 as this is powering my batteries for a long time.. and yes you have to take care about the AC inlet socket, as its soldering always tears off when forced with cord.. and yes, do not drop it.. as the switching transformer core is too brittle, and cracks off in a fall.. then with care Imax B3 serves you better or similar.. switch on.. plug in battery.. and recharge.. and hope Sai sir will help you in this..  :thumbsup:

that's the best deal i saw on those chargers i guess.

Just dial SAI sir. at 08939386941.
The best solution, he will give.

Thanks
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

coderbanna

i guess i should go for imax b3 pro from pooyan, looks fine to me and is reasonable in cost? is it ok roop sir?

Cod.. be patient a little.. may be Sai sir out of station or so...  Imax B3 works well.. but told you for some care.. and by last two years my whole LiPoly charging is carried out by B3, and still, means at this moment, it is charging one of my 2 cell battery.. and one of it i got as damaged with it's switching transformer core broken.. after replacing it, it serving me on this time.. and life of the battery.. purchased from Sai sir, and still powering my crafts with ease.. especially my ships and boats.. for hours.. easy to use and value for money charger.. and never insert battery terminal, in to recharging slot, while the charger is OFF.. take care.. instead first of all switch on the charger at first, then you can see three GREEN L E D s lighted up.. then can insert battery, as 2 cell or 3 cell.. if battery is low, the green L E D turns to RED, indicates balance recharging..  after GREEN reappears, please do not switch it OFF.. instead remove battery..this saves the life of the used devices inside.. you can also try with same Turnigy and others also.. or if you need a complicated charger switch to B6.. but not in my list..  :thumbsup:

dear coderbanna,

its a nice attemt, and i am sure you worked hard in this model, but still it needs some rectifications..
I know no more about aerodynamics,but your fuselage worth it. I am hoping some senior to reply..
dont get dishearted..
I can take off and fly well. Its landing which sucks :banghead::banghead:

It can also be interpreted as "Wind n fly"..

1:Add a good piercing nose and use it as battery hatch.

2:strengthen the bottom of fuse with some cf/wooden stick.

3:your proportion of wing to prop doesnt suits me.no idea what to do  ???.

4:seems you havent added servos, if yes, you can work out with tail as well(but i am not sure whether its important or not)

Ps: thread is getting deviated.
