Not a bad idea.  Instead of the wooden insert insert a thin touch screen laptop or tablet PC!  Could do double duty.  Sim and used to program your ESC, VBar, Icon, Hellicommand, Etc!  Hummmmm ???

Seems a bit large what model is yours.
Can't beat already owning it however.
Did you get the fans from progressive?

That is a question for Rich.  I just sent him the charger and he did the rest including the power supply.  Aside from the Synergy Logo  ;D

Did a test run of the 1610 pelican box as a possible charging station at the flying field. Way to big!

Thanks guys :)

great for night charging ,went for red led's to go easy on the eyes at night , still yet to test it for night flying , hard enough  to get day flights in these days let alone night flying but it looks cool LOL

its a great setup and has worked flawlessly for over a year now ,  a little note , PL8's  require 26.4V to run at their optimum ,

building another setup atm  with the new Revoletrix Duallab with a Meanwell RSP-3000-48 , yay 48V's :), just waiting for the Duallab to be released in Oct

Just curious, what are you going to plug that Meanwell into?

Playing with plexy!
Getting my charge station rapped up. I have never worked with acrylic glass. Decided to try our bending and chemical welding.  Kinda fun! Hand bending hot acrylic is hard to do without having some sort of jig set up to get everything straight. Careful with the acrylic bond as its very running and get all over everything. Very satisfied with the way it turned out. Just need to come up with a lead bag and velcro the 4010 Duo in place.  Need to do something with the under side of the cover.  Its a little bigger now that I decided not to make a spot for my transmitter.

May have some room for nitro stuff?
