Torsion night tail blads

[rapidgaz]

Hi folks just got these from FL, just wondered if any of you guys have these, and if you are having problems with the charging.

Are these the blades in the video?
How are you trying to charge them?

[rapidgaz]

yes mate its the tail blades, i have no prob with the mains, i use a bantham bc6-10 thru a home made plug for both. the tails just dont seem to charge properly, charge at 100mah (says you can do 150mah) and after 6-8 mins they are at 4.10 then check on my fluke straight afetr and are only at 3.7-8 using in li-ion mode as said in instructions

oh not sure may be one for fast lads
good luck

I know this post is quite old but it looks like you're not the only one having problems charging the tails.
My brother recently bought mains and tails and like you, has no problems charging the main blades but the tails won't charge
In my bro's case the voltage goes from 3.5v to 4.1v in about 8 seconds with no milliamps registered as having gone in at which point the charger ends the charge cycle.
He's charging at 100mah on a Graupner Ultramat 25 set to LiFe which aught to be fine.
Rapidgaz, did Fast lads replace the blades or was there a fix for the problem? (Oh, and my bro's came from Midland)

Never sent them back, made up a parallel lead to charge both at same time, Still set to 100mah and would get about 8 mah in then it would end, then I would restart and same again. Would do this till I got them to over 4 volts per blade off charge, this would give about 10 flights. Hope this helps. U need to use lithium ion setting not Life

U need to use lithium ion setting not Life

Sorry, my mistake, i guess i meant Lilo, it's my bro's charger and i don't charge lithium ion bats myself

I'll tell my bro to give it a try with a parallel lead and see what happens.
Thanks for the info

Vic.
