Thank you so much for posting the graph on power vs. capacitor charge voltage, it is very revealing. When I saw that Jack is using a capacitor on his Heliboard, of the same, or close to the same working voltage ( 62 or 63 volts) as the capacitor on the original factory board, I was...

Regarding the Heliboard for Airwolf, I noticed, in looking carefully at pictures and video of heliBoard, that it uses an electrolytic capacitor with the same capacity/voltage rating as the original Daystate circuit board does. That is to say, the original Daystate board and the Heliboard...

mmahoney, I was able to open the manual for the Heliboard, that you sent me. Thank you so much. Do you still use your heliboard, and, more importantly, do you know any more about the device, than what is show in the manual? Are new ones still being sold, as Ebay apparently took...

bigben11, I am new to this forum, so can't figure out how to send private messages, and can't figure out how to search whole site for specific things---forum seems very user unfriendly, unless I just don't know how to use it yet. Anyway, you sent me a message saying that you still...

Sherriff, If you find time, would you please email me the manual for the Heliboard? Thanks, Jack
