This is really helpful, thank you

It’s all getting complicated I’m reluctant to cut the heat shrink as that’s a brand new battery from Bailey and cost a fortune! You think they would cover this stuff in the manual!

Thanks Cas, I’ve got one somewhere from my old RC flying days . What’s PB charge option though? Also, any idea where I can get the connectors to make up the lead please?

Could anybody recommend a battery charger for my Bailey v4 battery please. It would need to have the correct lead to connect the battery as the terminals are covered with tape. Thanks

I’ve had a few of those too

That’s Good to hear and extremely reassuring! I’m training with the BHPA so currently learning free flight and practicing landings before I’m ‘allowed’ an engine. Getting some great flights from some high points in Sussex though.....Mount Caburn, Devils Dyke etc. I can now strap on the old v4 without worrying about those little d-rings and pins

I definitely doing that, thank you!

Have you got a picture of that please? I think I know what you mean but it would be good see it done. Thanks

No I’ll just be doing gentle flights with XC’s now and again. They are stainless steel but I wish they were a bit thicker!!

There’s probably some amazing physics at work here, but as a newbie still in training and yet to fly my Bailey V4, I can’t help wondering if the two pins holding the hang bars in the chassis and the mallions holding the carabiners (also on the hang bars and therefore the same pins) will be strong enough to take me and the motor!! Everytime I go and look at it In the garage (which is often as I love it) the same thought crosses my mind

I’m crap with electronics! I do have a multimeter but have never used it Always prepared to learn new skills though

Would this be suitable?

Could anyone tell me the correct battery I need for my Bailey v4 please? It looks like the previous owner has taped two together and I’m struggling to find what I need to fit in the gap. Thanks

Interesting! Thank you for all your help. I’m learning a bit more everyday

Ah, this is what should have accompanied my post above!
