Turnigy graphene review: can increase flight time?

Why so many people looking forward to it and is Turnigy graphene lipo battery really can increase flight time for quadcopter? Today, I make a article about Turnigy graphene review for helping you to know what's the graphene battery and its performance.

 


What is the graphene lipo battery?

Graphene batteries is Newly developed a kind of new energy battery, which the use of lithium ion in graphene quickly a large number of shuttle between the surface and the electrode movement features.


There are at less 3 advantages of the graphene lipo battery as below:


  • High capacity energy storage
  • Shorten charging times
  • Longer cycle
  • Less weight
  • More cheaper

 Turnigy graphene review


As above image you see, Typically I see the end temperature around 130F to 140F. Again, the Turnigy graphene pack performed much better than a standard LiPo. After more than 80% discharge at 27A it was barely warm at 108.5F! 


Conclusion

Can turnigy graphene increase flight time for quadcopter? Yes, but not exactly. In fact, according to our survey, graphene material just assisted as additives to increase the performance of lipo battery. So far, they are all more or less good for increasing the performance.


Gradually along with the mass production and large size problem, the industrialization application of graphene is speeding up, based on the existing research results, the commercial application of the first field would be on a mobile device, aerospace, new energy battery and drone field.


Now, there are many brands of graphene battery in the market such as Turnigy, Arris, Grazepony etc. Which one would you like to purchase? Please leave your messages on here, if you have any questions about the graphene battery.

HK 450 GT beginner setup

Hey all

You´d like to join the huge rc heli community but don´t know how to start and what equipment you need? I hope to help you doing first steps on my own experience.

Forget all coaxial helicopters! Start with the 450 size one :) If you´ve got a lot of unneeded dollars you can buy a T-Rex and then (after crash) always expensive genuine parts… But I wouldnt…

My first idea was to buy a second hand heli… Forget it! It will be just trouble with it! A helicopter is a quite expendable toy and you will surely need to replace most parts of used one! For a beginner is a HK450 heli actually a very attractive choice. Replacement parts are cheep, T-Rex parts feet also if one wants to exchange something to get more precisious helicopter reaction. Now here is the best beginner setup! I crashed my first heli seveal times and no one servo was damaged for example!

Just order everything by Hobbyking (all links are to international warehouse but you can choose your favorite wh on hk webstore. Dont forget, for different warehouses you have to place different orders!):


All this parts you need to get your heli taken off. Of course you need a transmitter and a receiver, too. I use e.g. Hitech Aurora 9 with Optima 6 (or 7, or 9)

A little bit replacement parts statistics after some crashes could be helpfull for you:

Main shaft 4
Feathering shaft 4
Bearing 5x11x5 5
Stabilizer bar 5
Bearing 4x8x3 2
Bearing 4x7x2,5 2
Skid pipe 2
Linkage rod eye 3
Vertical tail fin 1
Main gear 1
Screw M2x12 3
Tail boom 3
Horizontalfin band 1
Landing skid 1
Landeschlitten 2
Main blade (pairs) 6
Tail support rod 1
Chassis 1


So it is recommended you buy some more replacement parts to get uninterrupted flying fun!

Mounting instructions of this helicopter you will surely find on youtube.

Hope this setup will be helpfull for you! Enjoy it!

AGM 30cc Engine Could be Option for RC Aircrafts Wingspan Ranging from 72-74 Inches

Released from AGM DISTIBUTOR LLC, the AGM30cc gasoline engine shows a great performance when installed on different model RC airplanes. More than thousands RC players have bought this engine from AGM’s online stores.

AGM 30cc gasoline engine 


 


While there are still some players who do not understand well about the specification and features of the AGM30cc engine, here I would like to make a small introduction about that:


AGM 30cc engine is a small gasoline engine specially designed for RC model airplanes, with the displacement of 30cc, this engine can get to a horsepower of 3.7hp/8500rpm and the idle speed is able to reach even 1600rpm/min. Using a walbro carburetor and rear carb, auto advancing electronic ignition, and CM6 style spark plug, this engine can be installed on RC airplanes wingspan ranging 72-74 inches.


 


For example, AGM30cc is suitable for the Extreme Flight 70" Extra 300 EXP ARF, and there are also some users who have installed them on other airplanes to have it worked perfectly. Like the 80" Sundowner, Precedent T240, Super Cub, RCPilot 3D Trainer 90, Hangar 9 Quarter Scale Super Cub, Hanger 9 P47 D-1 and more…


 


To know whether an  airplane gasoline engine is suitable for your model airplane, you should first make sure that the weight and size of the airplane, and then use the probable prop to support the airplane fly in the air. Of course, the diameter and stroke of the gasoline engine, the ratio of compression and lubricating capacity are always important. Meanwhile, the weight of the engine cannot be too heavy to affect the airplane’s performance.


 


Normally, we recommend RC players to choose the engine with strong power and match well with their model RC airplane to get the best experience. And the quality of the engine also should be great and fight with the strong wind and other elements to make your flying steady and strong. For most of RC hobbyists, AGM30cc gasoline engine no doubt to be a good choice due to it combined the best advantages and also affordable for them.

AGM Engine Readying Two Petrol Engines for Launch

Agm-engine.co.uk has revealed that its global-based supplier to begin selling two new modes of the AGM before Oct 1st, including a single cylinder and a twin cylinder petrol engine, reported from this company.


 


The AGM Company, and with its parent company located in China, was readying both a single cylinder and a twin cylinder petrol engine upgraded with a few new features add in. Last week, the site agm-engine.co.uk said that the AGM 60cc and AGM 64cc Petrol Engine have scheduled to produce on a large scale this month, and the two engines will work as part of an effort to make the company gain good performance.


 


Some people said that AGM Company is imitating the style of DLE to produce the petrol engines and engine parts. But the spokesman of agm-engine.co.uk declined to comment.


 


Agm-engine.co.uk Company's action showed that they are devoting themselves in veiling its own petrol engine and other corresponding accessories. Some people think that whether this company will go the same way as DLE and other small petrol engine brands to open their market, or will they adopt a new strategy to win in the market.


 


From the recent displays, we can see that agm-engine.co.uk is holding its own strategy of "take a good place in the market by its low price and good quality products, especially the customer service." From sale reports of AGM petrol in the US, we can see that the engine has welcomed by many players, and it has gained great praise since its release. AGM petrol engine is going to know by more and more players.


 


With more people know about AGM, and they want to experience whether the petrol engine can be able to do a good job for them to fly their airplane. So agm-engine.co.uk was public and it was set as a global online hobby store to provide the best petrol engines and engine parts to serve more people worldwide. The two petrol engines' coming, has offered more choices for the players to choose, they can add the petrol engine according to their model RC airplane, their economy and their hobby etc.
