5 x 170's wow.
I thought you only needed 3. Fly one of them, the other is in transit going to be repaired and the last one is coming back from being repaired.

Sorry i couldn't help myself

Actually, you can get them for a song now that you guys have all flipped to coal power. So I did. Nice to have spares, eh?

I've never seen a glow motor spontaneously combust
I've never seen anyone eject their fuel tank through the canopy
I've never had a fuel tank ''puff'' on the 2nd to last maneuver in the sequence at the Nats. Or any other time, for that matter.
My fuel supply doesn't make noise in the pits between rounds. I also don't have to rescue it when it starts to rain while I'm judging a round (just the airplane and transmitter)

Almost forgot! I never lose sleep worrying if I will make weight!

OK, here we go! [img][/img]
Yeah, actually you are right i have only ever had one dead stick with my electric pattern models in all my years flying them. And it was my fault. Shouldn't have left the model out in the sun on a tarmac runway, 45 degrees Celsius. The speed controller over temped 2/3 rd the way through the flight.

Never puffed them, never thrown them out in flight. Must be lucky i guess. And i do heaps of flying

Enjoy your YS's

Chris
