Have 160 flights on my first TP 5300 pack and still going strong. I balance after every flight and never fly more than one schedule. One flight takes no more than +- 3100 mah. When charged packs are 42 V and after flight when measured more than 38 V still left.

It you mean the 2005 at RMAC and you refer to Rodney Donaldson then yes. I will look at my old photos. If not mistaken that was also the year that John Mee and friends came out. Congratulations on the Beryll, you will never regret the purchase. Attach photo taken of my Beryll two weeks ago at our Masters and also group photo, you will recognise some of the pilots like Pierre Marais, Andre Stockwell and Ivan Olivier.

Regards
Burt

I am out of country at present and cant tell you 100%. JP Zardini from ZN Lines also flies Beryll and I asked him to sent without knowing what the sizes were. If not mistaken two sets of large for Rudder and ailerons and one set of meduim for elevator. Aslo asked him to send you his soft mount system, very simple, carbon ring with three rubber grommets, I think the helicoper guys use the grommets, has 3mm bolt on one side and thresded for 3 mm on the other side that mounts through the front of the plane. You might consider getting four grommets as I found that I had to reduce the right thrust and ad a bit of down thrust to stop the plane from climbing and veering to the right when opening from half to full throttle. Attach find photo of setup.

Regards
Burt

Spend some time in Kenya and Botswana, average temp 36 degrees per day with the evenings cooling down to about 28 degrees. Believe JHB is also raining and will be back this afternoon and then on my way to the coast. Our days are hot at presnet, 31 to 36 and with the cooling on the Beryll the Thunder Power batteries hardly feel the heat.

Regards
Burt
