FlightMaster A123 Rx, Ignition Packs & Accessories



The FlightMaster A123's on this Page are custom configured for 1/5 and 1/4 scale models up to approximately 25 pounds

We introduced to the RC Community this outstanding Series of A123's, now dubbed the 'FlightMaster Series', back in 2006. These packs, switches & charger cables are configured for ease of use with and in the radio equipment setups and layouts favored by RC Scale and and Competition Pilots in projects that weigh up to about 25 pounds. Cabling & connector formats are based on Standard RC connectors for ease of balance charging and we provide for seamless power delivery & connectivity with your Rx's and Servos. We designed and deployed the 'Single Cable' (Combo Cable) charging and cell check solution for 2s 6.6v A123's in 2008. At the same time we provided the means to accomplish seamless in-plane cell checks and balance charging via ED's excellent UltraSwitchII that we upgraded in-house to 20 awg twisted cabling. Current handing capability of this uprated system is limited not by the pack's ability to handle heavy loads.. but instead, by the current handling capabilities of the R/C System Standard 'JR/FJ Universal' plugs and contacts, as well as the switch's traces and contacts. (3 amps thru the plugs, up to 10 amps on the switch) This 'Combo' system, involving a matched pack, quality upgraded switch and charger cabling is still the 'Gold Standard' for R/C projects up to @ 25 lbs weight. Our line of blue-shrink covered packs, now dubbed the 'FlightMaster Series', has been in production now for 20+ years and they continue to be an outstanding fit for most 1/5 & 1/4 scale projects. Scroll down on this page for FlightMaster Packs & Support Gear
We've just added a brand new lineup of packs and support gear for aggressive flyers and larger 1/3 & 1/2 scale projects. If you are outfitting a project the weighs MORE than 50 pounds -OR- you fly like your hair is on fire, you'll find the new green shrink covered 'PowerMaster Series' packs and support gear to be just what you need for handling exceptional current loading, high rate fast charging and ease of access, all specifically designed for folks using Power Expanders, Power Safe type Digital switches and multiple Receivers.
