    Re: Seaplane tender tank testing 1
    JB we have an odd shop here - called the "Crazy" store - you must have similar ones there - full of Chinese stuff and
    gadgets
    etc. One of the pool/beach type things they sell are kiddies paddling pools - usually inflatable - which are not much use as a test tank - however better half found one with a semi solid wall - that does the job admirably . Have a good look - sure you could find one too. Save you the hassle - easy to erect and useful when you need it.......... Packs away into a small box.

    Battery backup
    Hey! Thought you hitting the sack? What happened? Sack hit back? πŸ€•πŸ˜‰ Yep, on the LiPo versions (like mine) you can set the threshold for 2.7V upwards. Didn't know there were also NiMh versions. But then - I haven't looked! The primary function of these cheap little
    gadgets
    is a quick rough indication of the battery voltage, and the individual cell voltages. It's only a rough guide - Go / No Go for another run so to speak. My comparative measurements using a mains Lab voltmeter showed considerable discrepancy so I'm not sure I'd rely on it as an alarm. OTOH; if it works for your aircraft - Why not? I agree, LiPo conversion is the way. I've tried my best here but some folks are still afraid of LiPos. I have tried to explain that if you buy quality not cheapest you can find and follow the rules there shouldn't be any problem. I admit I still have some NiMh which I use together with ESCs which are not 'LiPo safe'; i.e. they do not have the built in cut off function (or throttle limiter on some hi end versions) designed for use with LiPos. So far I have ONLY seen this function for LiPos. Coming up to midnight up here so it's my turn to 'hit the sack', G'night all. Doug 😎 πŸ’€πŸ’€ PS I get RX Low battery warning on the TX display! πŸ˜‰
