| Unless told otherwise by the manufacturer, you should charge at a rate known as "1C" which is the capacity of the battery minus the "hour" part. So a 1350 mAh battery is to be charged at 1350mA (1.35A). Note that this pack is 7.70V because it is at 50% full for storage. A battery should be charged to about 3.85 volts per cell for storage else it will quickly degrade. |

| This board is designed for connecting up to six 2S-6S packs in parallel and a maximum of 30A total current. I got mine here: http://www.progressiverc.com/parallel-charge-board-for-thunderpower-t-plug.html
A cheaper option is a balance board such as this one (make sure you select the options for the iCharger 106B+ etc.): http://www.progressiverc.com/thunderpower-balance-board.html |

I've selected 1.4A charge rate because the battery is 1.35AH which is close to a "1C" charge rate. |

For rhysleo. This charger and your Turnigy use a balance connector called "XH/EH" but the battery uses the Thunder Power style so you need am adapter. |

Penny is only 10 weeks old so we've not done a lot of building together yet. |

The small test piece has three light coats, enough to look very good on the side with primer, but the side I didn't prime could use another coat or two like I had to do with the unprimed nacelle. Looks like a keeper to me. |

I mentioned the problem I had with this primer to a friend and he said it was either too cold or I didn't shake the can enough. It was above the minimum reccomended temperature so I shook the can till my arm was tired and tried again. As you can see, the effort was worth it. |

The LHS wanted $8 for a can of Krylon primer so I got this can of Rust-Oleum engine primer from the home improvement store for $5.50. As you can see, the first test piece was a disaster. |

I took a scrap of silver SoLite to the LHS and found the best color match that I could. Later I realized it was for polycarbonate RC car shells, but it didn't hurt the extra engine nacelle I tested it on, just took a lot of coats to get good color. |

Who says you can't see the skeleton once it's been covered? |

Nice and smooth, got to love Solite for these smaller models. |
