RE: I AM CURSED!!!!

Get a Wizz Bang Special. It won't break until 8 seconds! ;)

RE: Comprehensive List of Electric Flight Components with Specifications, Prices, & Comparative Data

Really nice work here. I used to keep a somewhat similar compilation of info on servo's, for my own use. The listing is now very much out of date. Your listing on the LiPo's is...

RE: Brought back LiPo from the dead!?!?

It depends on the make of the Lipo. Usually, a fully discharged Lipo will have officially "expired". However, if you have the Lazarus brand.......... ;)

RE: T-Hawk

The T-Hawk is a fine choice for a first or second electric plane, actually as good as a second plane as it is a first. The plane is available only thru the www.readytoflyfun.com website, but comes...

RE: Disposal of LiPo batteries and Other Thoughts

RE: Li Po charging HELP!
