Hey thanks. Unfortunately i looked on eBay and couldn’t find those sellers.

You can generally find every manner of battery adapter at HobbyKing. However, it seems their site is down right now. Give it a try a bit later. If that's all you need, it might not be feasible to buy it from HobbyKing. I don't know what they would charge for shipping for something that small. For me in Canada, they only send either from Hong Kong warehouse or they only use FedEx from their Oregon warehouse. For Con US, they might just mail it from Oregon.

Curious what you're doing to the plane so it will survive 6s.

ebay was a quick easy find for me. chose a seller in the US...RC Dude Hobbies and Everett RC Parts are US and have what you need.

Hey guys I’m going to go 6s on my p-38 so I can get some more speed and for battery commonality(lol is that a word?).

Does anybody have any idea where i could find an adapter to use a battery with an ec5 connector? I’m having a hard time finding one. I’m guessing i need a ‘2 xt-60 to ec5 adapter’.

Thanks!

Today I received my decal set from Callie, very nice.
Also ordered the maintenance nomenclature set.
Does anyone have a multi view outline of proper placement of the many maintenance decals?

Today I finally got to do the maiden flight on my P-38, WOW.
Cannot believe how nice it flys. Did not have to trim anything all was spot on. The sight and sound was amazing. Used a pair of 3500 Admiral Pro

Welcome to the Squawk S1,

No problems here either. :Cool:

[xviper]

Not even a hiccup. Now, on a couple of my EDFs, that's another story.

[Ole-Timer]

Nope,
My P-38 is approaching 3 years old now and is still fine. :Cool:

[Hardway]

Welcome to the Squawk S1. I personally have not had any issues with mine.... ;)

[Sjstorer1]

Has any one having trouble with the control board in the P-38 from Flightline?

[OV10]

Thanks, good advice. How did you know what prop is each motor spec'ed out for? Also in the ecalc tool I don't see any entries for Freewing motors.

I did try the 830kv motors with the plane strapped down the test and they do run too hot...

The product specification page on the Overview Tab for the motor.

If you want the specs for FMS motors you can find them at the FMS Motors - Specifications PDF spread sheet thread that I created Jan 2017 on the Squawk. ;)

eCalc doesn't have specs for the FlightLineRC motors because they haven't been submitted by the manufacturer to Markus Muller(German) the owner of eCalc.
He will take submissions of technical data from users as long as they provide where the source of the data came from.
The free public use version has limited capabilities but for about $6/yr you get the private all the bells and whistles version.
If you can't find a preloaded motor manufacturer, with the private version you can load in the specs.
