Default Burn In

WOW, that is a good idea. Every new battery pack should be cycled 3 or 4 times before using so only for this, that is good.

That whole thing makes me thinking of a lot of things. Some people tend to say that Hitec uses lower quality electronics than other leading brands. That would explain why some people are experiencing early failures with their servos or receivers and some say that they are bullet proof. Maybe the lesser quality components lead to a higher failure rate during the burn in, which is often made in the air maybe causing some crashes.

Also, doing this will most likely be done under warranty since everything is new. If something happens, the manufacturer cannot say that the component broke due to a crash as the aircraft did not even took off.

That is a great idea and I will use it every new plane I will have

Thanks a lot !!
