Cheers Pal, more stuff to come.

Picked up an old FW190a 1100mm wingspan. needs some work though.
Ordered the Fatshark head tracker, I want to try that again.
got the 5.8ghz rx OLED for the goggles as well, just relays to the 1.2 / 1.3
Also picked up the ezuhf diversity RX from antigravitysports for 20 quid. just because of the price  :D

As Chad said

If you run pareallel then each battery can discharge 25C each or
125A each. So with two discharge simutaniously you will have 250A on tap ( in theory as said manufacurers lie about C )
They don't discharge any faster, but you have twice the capacity so twice as much to discharge in the first place

A very impressive list bud, should keep you busy :)

If the batteries are in parallel then you can pull twice as much current from them, as you can pull max C rating from both at the same time!
If in series then the C rating is only as printed on the battery - well the manufacturers inflated C figure that's printed on the battery  ;D

Hi All,

So, getting back into the game after a long break. decided to spend a bit of cash and list what I´ve bought.

1. X-Air 1,3 from TrueRC
2, RHCP 1.3 Singularity from TrueRC x3
3. SpeedyBee 5.8 Antennas for my Ground Station relay
4. AR Wing Pro
5. FuriousFPV F35 Lightning, first time running INAV (I am an old skool Ardupilot fan)
6. Matek Airspeed sensor for the F405 in an AR 900 wing.
7, T-Motor 1400kv
8. TomCat G46 Motor for my Spitfire
9. Matek 1G3 VTX

Got some other small bits and bobs, tools for example, 3S field soldering iron...

Got 3 planes to maiden, will post up as soon as I get going. weather is c**p at the moment.

All the best and stay safe,
Anthony

Yes I think you are right.
you either double the voltage or double the milliamps.
i assume the C rating stays the same..

If you run 2 5000mah 2s batts in parallel it's still 2s but now it's 10000mah so essentially you made your gas tank (the run time length) bigger.
If you run the same 2s batts in series it doubles the voltage so it's 4s now.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it works like that. Neither will increase the C rating or discharge rate of batts. 25C is maxed discharge so it doesn't make batts discharge any faster than the 25C by hooking up either way. The only thing it affects is voltage or run times, the discharge rate stays the same.

Thanks, solved several minutes after posting... and forgot to update.
It was indeed reversed tx-rx..

Hi,

Been a long time but I believe that is the firmware version.
You could check the wiring tx to rx and vise versa.
Just to note, the old minimosd was connected to the telemetry port on the apm.

Hope that helps.
