RE: Shipping Lithium batteries

I gather there is a difference in safety between lithium ion and lithium polymer. The former being safe while polymer less safe?

RE: Shipping Lithium batteries

Thanks JimO,

I just don't know the best way to bring an electric to Europe and fly it. Would I have to tell the airline to store it etc.

RE: Questions for QQ 85'' inch YAK

Niko,

What part of Greece do you fly in?
I hear it's big time there too.
You will love the 85. Make sure your throws are set correctly.

RE: bcma 40cc for 13lb. plane?

So now, Boosted 180;
The 40 pulls my 12.5...

RE: BCMAEngines

There is a hole on the carb that must not be blocked at all. My guess is when you put the gasket sealer in, you may have blocked this "PULSE" hole. You need to put the specified gasket there.
