New Stuff

Yesterday I bought some new bits from a shop in Kambah called Nitro Dude. They have a website http://www.nitrodude.com.au.

Needed a new battery for the Tiger Moth (probably maidening tomorrow) and also needed a charger given my pissy EF charger (which to be fair has served me well) wont charge anything except a 650mAh 8.4v NiCD it would seem.

So, I bought a Swallow, who unfortunately isn't Robyn. Didn't get the Swallow Two - it was an extra $40 and the I already have a 240v AC/12 DC Supply. And the battery, which is a Lithium Ion 7.2 volt, 2300mAh job. Paul, from Nitro Dude, said that battery will probably keep the moth in the air for about an hour (an hour!). Was a bit overkill for the application perhaps, but it is what he had in stock.

Well, maidening the TM tomorrow I hope.
