How so?

Re: Can you charge the Phantom batteries using a solar panel Best way is to use a 12V car battery or deep cycle marine battery to run your lipo charger. The solar array maintains the battery.

He's been on my ignore list for months. :D Life's way too short to give people like this any time or attention.

They are practically the same, with minor differences... I bought the airplane version, because I like the ratcheted throttle and the switch configuration. I use it for airplanes, too. :D http://phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php? ... 3090#p7259

The 8J can be had on eBay for $249 from time to time. They are easily found for $279 with free shipping... Comes with a receiver.

Re: Lost control of turning and forward, up-down still worke Open your tx and check for bad/broken solder... Happened to me: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2194#p14710

If you can keep your Phantom, TX, and batteries in a warm vehicle or building until the very moment you walk out to connect the battery and fly, I think you would be OK. Once you get your home position set and green flashes, the operation of the ESCs and battery would keep the inside warm...

THIS.

My throttle is not and never has been self centering. Above 50% it climbs, below 50% it descends. The more you push it either way, the faster it climbs or descends. I like it this way. There's no inherent voodoo or gotchas in this, unless you bring your throttle to zero for a few seconds.

You don't have to be suicidal, just a strong desire to be permanently and hideously disfigured! :D Or, you could build an 11.1v regulator with a slight chance of burning yourself with a soldering iron.

I charge and store my batteries in an ammo can. I made a hole on the side for the battery connector to fit through and for ventilation purposes should a battery flame up.

Oh geez. Really?
