Default RE: E-Starter batterys

Rog, I too, had a host of problems with my E-Starter. Like all of my GWS kit's, this one was shipped with some damage.This time, it was to the tail feathers and a warped wing to boot. At least I got all of the parts with the kit, which was not the case with my Corsair (missing the stab) or my Zero (missing instructions, hardware, motor stick)

My E-Starter balanced ok, but had some really strange traits, while in the air, particularly at high power settings. It would roll into a turn and enter a grave yard spiral, randomly, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. It would do this with no particular frequency. I even swapped out the entire flight pack, thinking that would help. After flying R/C planes for nearly 25 years, I had never experienced this kind of behavior.

[&:] It wound up in pieces eventually.
