My Helipad!
This morning I found the damaged round table which someone threw it away in my every day flying area. So it will be my helipad from now on.
It's still wet I think after it's dry I will mark. I'm not sure it will be there by tomorow because this area is not my backyard someone may destroy or take it away.

Everything takes time Skyking. There's an old Chinese saying that helped me a lot. "Man learns with eyes and ears - blocks with mouth."

Try a motorcycle battery.
who would love to a RC helicopter like that.
Sorry Skyking, but the average motorcycle battery could not cope with that heli. They only provide a high current for a few seconds, then they are down to perhaps 10A max until recharged. The M/C battery relies on being charged while the engine is running and is usually around 12AH. That heli would need at least 180A to get off the ground, 150A with transitional lift for a halfway decent flight. The battery would last less than 5 min and would be burnt out before then.
A lead acid accumulator is not the way to go here. The new LiFePo batteries would be infinately better. At 8400mHa and 30C, 40C burst just 2 of these in a 2 x series pack would be a big improvement on an M/C battery. You could blast into the air at 500A then cruise @ 150A for around 4 mins.

Your dead right there Skyking,
I notice that although you told us where you were and age (good that) it's still not in your profile. (That's the bit on the left.) It's good in there as it is available to everyone who reads the post and like PJ says we are based all over the world.
