Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2004Anyone recognize this battery connector?
Hi. I have the draganfly IV helicopter, which uses 11.1 V Li-Po batteries, with the connector shown in this photo: http://www.cooper.edu/~wolf/connector.jpg Does anyone recognize the conector? I've found a much cheaper source for the batteries, but I need to get my hands on several of the connectors, since I have to mate the batteries to the connector on the motherboard. The vertical dimension (height) of the connector is about 7/8 of an inch. Thanks! > Hi. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks! Looks slightly different to what I have seen but if you can get other similar connectors more easily, don't be afraid of changing them over. I have been wiring up Boats/Cars/Helis and Planes using whatever connectors I can get and I haven't had any problems yet.

Not so easy to just change connectors. Sorry, I can't identify it either but you may be able to find a connector that will match the pin size and hole spacing...? > > > Hi. > > > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Sorry, I can't identify it either but you may be able to find a > connector that will match the pin size and hole spacing...? Walker...shows u didn't read the post properly coz if u had clicked in the link, u would have seen pictures of the connector he was talking about, this has nothing to with the circuit board, just needs to change the connectors on the end of the wire.....check it out first dumbwit...i know what i'm talking about....been in this game since 1976...you probably weren't even a squint in yer dad's eye then....!!

I have 3 Helis, eldest is now 22 years old, 2 planes, 1 Hovercraft, 3 Boats (all electric) 1 Tank 19 years old , (electric with twin motors) and a new nitro car under construction....(also have my nephews nitro car in for minor repairs after last season....That was heavily modified by me too..goes very fast now...!!) and a 3rd nitro car for my nephew also under construction, custom built with all the extras) I also have a new glider, flown for first time last week, very successfully too, I designed it in 1982 and then re-designed it in 1985 with modifications...drew my own plans for this, finally built it Winter 2003 and flew prototype last week, for several hours I might add....!!! Taking it out again this weekend if the wind is right...Flies like a Homesick Angel...!!! Mark. > """"since I have to mate the batteries to the connector on the > motherboard.""""

Now on my 28th year of modelling on my own...!!! (and many years before that with me dad :)) My latest projecty is for my dad...DH2 Beaver 8ft span....One of the last aircraft he flew before leaving the army. rergards...........Mark. |
