Charsoon Magic Cube 50W Review

The Magic Cube of Charsoon is a battery charger ... a little special. To be very honest, I'm not sure I fully understood how it works. The principle ? It is based on a central block, the Magic Core. It is a block of 185 grams, dimensions 6.6 x 9.55 cm, which constitutes the nerve center of the charger. It is powered in 11 to 18V, and provides 2x50W max, 2x5A max, to recharge batteries from 2S to 6S, type Lipo, LiFe and LiHv. It is equipped with a color LCD touch screen. But this block does not load anything, it is devoid of catches. It is necessary to graft to it additional blocks, which come to fit right or left. You can put up to 16 in all. The Magic Cube is therefore a modular system from which you choose the number of elements and their function.

Available blocks

Each block weighs 95 grams, for dimensions of 6.6 x 6.47 cm. The Magic Cube Cell A is designed to charge 2S to 6S batteries via a conventional balancing plug. The Magic Cube Cell B is designed to charge DJI Phantom 3 batteries. The Magic Cube Cell C offers 4 charging ports in USB, with 2A per connector. Finally the Magic Cube Cell D is equipped with 2 red JST jacks, two Molex 2.0 jacks and two other jacks that seem to be Losi. The prices ? The Magic Core will be offered at a little more than 36 € at Banggood (with the port but without taxes), from March 7, 2017. Count 13 € for a Magic Cube Cell A, 14 € for a Magic Cube Cell B, 10 € for a Magic Cube Cell C, and € 12 for a Magic Cube Cell D.

What I did not understand…

Maybe you will be able to help me to decrypt the data sheet and the manual (to download here)? The 6 indicators on the screen appear to correspond to the state of the 6 cells (max) of a laden battery. How much can you charge in batteries simultaneously? "Whenever a group of 2 batteries is charged, the charger automatically switches to the next group. The Magic Core is the control center that allows you to charge 2 batteries simultaneously. Regarding the Magic Cube Cell C, the data sheet indicates the Yuneec battery holder, but the cable is not compatible. Bizarre. For the Magic Cell D block, the batteries to be charged are mainly 1S ... while the Magic Cube is given for 2S to 6S. Bizarre weird.

Eachine Flyingfrog Q90 Review

This flying frog looks like a toy, but it displays pretty seductive features! The aircraft is fully air-conditioned and rests on an F3 flight controller, which drives brushed 8520 engines of 14000KV (slightly less than the Micro Motor Warehouse fast models) for 5.5 cm propellers fed with 2S, by a Lipo 7.4V of 350 mAh in 30C with a plug Molex 2.0. The weight of the Flyingfrog Q90 without battery but with protections of propellers is 41 grams. We can expect a good power / weight ratio! The 2.4 GHz radio receiver is either DSM2, FrSky or Flysky.

And…

On the video side, the camera is a 1000TVL with a FOV of 110 ° associated with a transmitter 5.8 GHz of 40 channels and 200 mW (this is more than allowed by the European regulation). The dimensions are 8.8 x 8.8 x 4 cm for a diagonal of motor motor of 9.8 cm. The device is supplied with removable propellers. Based on technical data, it is a small machine that can prove to be nice to fly indoor, with which one can also hope to venture outdoors. The manufacturer ensures that the device is wind resistant, probably by putting forward its engines and its fairing. This will be checked, of course! Eachine Flyingfrog Q90 is offered from 66 € at Banggood (with the port but without taxes).
