i had a batt go down at the weekend, not sure why yet, but on a pass with my fun fly i thought, umm no elevator. slight blip of throttle should raise the nose just enough to avoid a heavy landing... blip... oh... no throttle now.
full throttle right into a tight loop and hit the ground vertical.
muddy field no damage, just a bent prop and the batt tried to escape my wrath but the CF LE put paid to its jail break.

here we see the Pheonix tree

hmmmm sounds like a case of dumb thumbs to me phil,lol.
Check out how muddy my panther tail got after i raced it around the field with no wing on, it must do 0-60 in about 3 secs!
you have to go easy on the rudder or it falls over on tight corners!

Default batt

is the pack dodgy or was it just flat.you've obviously tried racing fuz's, im sure it was getting light on its wheels at full speed!
