I have an old (like 15+ years old) OS-40.  It hasn't been used in
years - was part of a load of stuff my grandfather gave me and
he gave up flying 15 years ago!

This is supposed to be a newsgroup for model aircraft.  Tell Procter to get the
hell off or just ignore him from now on.  
Enough time has been wasted on this crap.

I have been keeping an eye on this group for sometime and find this

We held our club's Annual General Meeting just recently and I noticed a
strange atmosphere come over the meeting when it came round to electing new
officers for the committee.  When the Chairperson asked, "Is there anyone
willing to put their name forward for a position on the ...

 Ok, so I've got my new battery charger.  I can charge NiCads, LiPolys, etc.
I can even set the charging rate (0-2 amps).  How do I know how high a charging
rate I should use?  Can I make some calculations based on capacity and number
of cells in the pack?  For example, I have a ...

Could someone please let me know the channel assignment for this ( rex7
mini). Which is the Throttle channel and so on...?
