So the second of the recent problems in wiring one or other of the prototype builds was ~ the first being how to upgrade the transmitter's firmware ~ how to charge the batteries for the receiver. Turns out that I should have got a 7.2v six-cell NiMH pack, but this five-cell 6.0v pack will have to do. The charger also delivers seven times the permitted amperage and makes for a charging cycle so rapid that you don't want to go anywhere whilst it's happening.
I also found why originally it did not appear to work as advertised, having attached the connectors the wrong way round (but not letting them know that).
The thing looking like the top-end of a cockroach is a micro-receiver I returned with from the GoFly competition in California at the start of 2020. It took a little searching to find exactly what type, not least because the QR code was defunct, though it should do for the second prototype.
Happy days so long as you discount the prospect of nuclear annihilation.
Herman Hesse wrote during WW2 how artists continued to create much how flowers continued to bloom. I now think this is bollocks, and that crawling underneath a stone is a better response.
