Li-Ion Charger Info

You MUST use a Li Ion charger for Li Ion batteries or the battery will be destroyed and in extreme cases may cause a fire!! Li Ion batteries don't have a memory and the chargers are automatic and won't overcharge the batteries. Li Ion batteries like constant voltage when charging rather than constant current, but you don't need to care about that. Just plug in the charger and forget about it. There is no "fast" charger, but you can charge a 2800 mah battery in just 2 hours which is pretty quick. You can charge between flights at the field while you fill up with gas and enough charge goes in the battery in those few minutes that you can fly indefinitely!

A special charger is required for Li Ion batteries. All brands of Li-Ion chargers are compatible with all brands of Li Ion batteries. I suggest to get rid of all your other batteries and chargers and be done with it!! Li Ion batteries have no memory, so put on charge after every day at the field. All chargers are automatic so just plug them into the cells and forget about them. They will charge up the 7.2v or the 10.8v cells and then automatically cut off. There are many chargers out there though we feel that these are the best values.

What should you get?
TBM offers TBM Li-Ion batteries and Fromeco Relion Batteries. These batteries are made from the same cells in pretty much the same way, so they are equivalent. If any of these Li-ion batteries is charged past 4.2v per cell it becomes damaged. The higher the voltage the battery is charged to above 4.2v per cell and the amount of times it is charged above 4.2v per cell determine when the battery will cease to operate. When the battery ceases to operate, one or both cells will drop to 0 volts. For TBM and Fromeco Relion batteries the Fromeco Ion Cube is the best charger by far for charging multiple batteries, so we only carry that one. The big advantage of the Fromeco Ion Cube is that there is an optional digital readout which gives you all the statistics you need about the charging process of the battery. Since you can find out actually how much energy goes into the battery, you can calculate how many amps are used per flight and how many flights you have per pack and such. This is very useful information for some people. If you like that kind of info, then get the "brain".

WARNING - Gasoline and Turbine powered R/C model aircraft are not manufactured to withstand unlimited G's. Any R/C model aircraft can fail, be it a wing folding up or a fuselage breaking in half under too high of a load. Just as any full size aircraft, model R/C aircraft have a maximum G rating. Because you are not in the plane flying it and experiencing the G's and reading the G-meter, it is more difficult to judge the G's on the aircraft, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the aircraft. Understand that if you perform a snap roll, parachute, wall, blender, knife edge loop, or pull hard on the elevator at almost any speed, you can be putting in excess of 15 G's, even in excess of 30 G's, and most aircraft can only designed to take 10-12 G's. If you perform any violent maneuver, you can break your plane. When I perform hard maneuvers, especially for the first time on an airframe, I am prepared for a failure and am prepared for it as best I can be. This mainly includes performing the maneuver far enough away from spectators that in event of a failure that I am not endangering others. In addition, be prepared for the manufacturer to not pay for a new airframe which is broken during flight. It is common practice for any manufacturer to not replace an airframe which breaks in the air or upon landing. I have only seen manufacturers replace airframes when they have received many of the same failures and the manufacturer determines that there was a design or manufacturing error. If you break an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is probably not the fault of the manufacturer. Please fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds.

R/C model jets, warbirds, aerobatic planes and UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to name a few are not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and property damage. Fly only in open areas, and AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites. Follow all manufacturer instructions included with your plane, radio, servo's, batteries and engine. Aircraft manufacturers guarantees each kit to be free from defects in both material and workmanship at the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover any component assembled by the customer. All parts of high stress must be inspected and reinforced if necessary by a competent builder. Some parts should be glued again. High stress areas such as firewalls, motor boxes, wing mounts, landing gear mounts, etc., are areas of high concern. Seek help if necessary. In not case shall TBM be liable for the cost of any product it offers which is not manufactured by TBM. The liability to the manufacturer cannot exceed the original cost of the purchased item. Further, TBM reserves the right to change or modify this warranty without notice. In that TBM has no control over the final assembly or materials used for final assembly, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any damage resulting from the use by the user of the final user-assembled product. By the act of using the user assembled product, the user accepts all resulting liability. The kit manufacturers have provided you with a top quality, thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and fly ability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of your completed model, and no representations are expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model. It is the user's responsibility to inspect each component for worthiness.
