Radio Control Flying – Documenting my 450’s part specs

One thing you learn in the tech industry is, Document your specs!. And just don’t link to some manufactures web site and call that documenting your specs. You need to do a little better job of that. I prefer to get the specs and record them in my own documentation. If you do that, you don’t have to worry about the manufacture changing specs (but not PN#), or them deleting the specs from their websites completely (e.g. Loctite deleted the specs on the 224 purple thread locker… yet I can still buy it all over town).

So, for my own edification really, I’m going to list the parts specs, original configuration vs. upgrades in those parts that have been upgraded, or changed. YMMV. CYA, BYOB.. you get the idea I’m sure.
