RE: Li-Po Batteries
Well, it was inevitable. Those little 3D foamies that everybody is flying these days are usually powered with LiPos. Dave Brown senses that they are not too dangerous if damaged in a tail touch (a Frisbee probably weighs the same and travels faster), so he had to come up with a different angle to get them outlawed/grounded. Outlaw the batteries, ingenious!! That'll nip this new form of fun in the bud and teach those 3D whippersnappers once and for all who is in true command. And I plead guilty....I used the 11oz foamy as an example of a 3D plane that couldn't be considered dangerous. Now Dave has taken me to task on the matter. He claims 50 reported instances of fires related to LiPos. At least he's going after something this time with ANY reported instances.
Damn I look funny in bowling shoes, guess I better get used to them.
