Johnny Dioxin Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Unfortunately can't order those, Miles - I didn't realise before, but they can't be shipped to the UK. I found some of the same on Amazon UK - but they seem borderline as far as size goes: https://www.amazon.co.uk/150mAh-Battery-Charger-SANROCK-Quadcopter/dp/B0B73VG215 quite expensive, too - even with the charger. Yours are 17x24x 5-6mm and those are 17x27x7mm. May be okay - I could always return them easily to Amazon, so I would try that if/when I need them. I'm already returning a set I'd bought from Amazon because they were slightly too big.

MilesD Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 (edited) Unfortunately it's been 4 or more years since we have used those batteries, and I don't have any. The new batteries are custom made and use a smaller connector. Appreciate your efforts and sharing.

Thanks, Hey Jurinko, It usually varies from 2 days to 2 weeks, sometime things pop up that can delay it more, like a mount request that is has not been made yet. I just had one delayed for about three weeks because we did not have the Pico mount designed, but I contact the guys with those types of situations. You should have received delivery by now, Please DM me your email address or name and I will check it. Thanks, and apologies for the delay, but we will get it sorted.

DD_Crash Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I have had a look on discord but it is very mixed up there with no FAQ for V1 My questions are 1/ I think the chargers arnt working. I get a red light on the plug but it stays red even after a very long time. I remember Miles saying that a better charger was available but I cant find the post. 2/ I havent used the FCUs for at least 2 years. Would the batteries still be ok? If not did the batteries that JonnieDioxin work ? Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a bit expensive but they will fit and a spare set is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesD Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 You can track the currently shipping Pre-Orders in the Discord server. I had a stop in production for a bit with a move, but we have recently been shipping about 10 days of Pre-Orders every 5 days. I plan on increasing production again very soon, but at the current rate, the wait would be about be about 10 months. No payments are accepted until orders are ready to ship.

MilesD Posted Saturday at 04:21 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:21 PM Hey Guys, Here is the latest iteration of the FCUs that are now shipping. Improvements: 1) Reduced size. 2) Added support for the IR LED . It no longer can be pushed into the FCU case my mistake. 3) New magnetic charger with rotating and pivoting head, and a power indicator built into the cable. If you ever need to, you can charge these while flying. As always, thanks everyone for your continued support and patience.

I'm still very much enjoying my Pointctrl set (first version) everytime I play DCS. Can't imagine DCS without them. One of my charging cables stopped working some time ago (probably a broken wire near the jack plug) and the other one is hanging by a thread (also at the plug), so this new charging cable is a really good upgrade and takes away the "weak" spot of the first gen Pointctrl. Awesome work Miles!
