Hi Erik ,

first thanks to you & Mike for nice threads

I just interest on a sentence of yours : '' I think the problem here is when people who have never flown electric before, go get 10s2 or 10s3p lipo battery packs, without knowing in detail the care and effort it takes to keep them working in a safe manner.''

ok my situation is same as you informed ; never use li-pos & IC planes (f3a size) but for the 2005 f3a wc in France I will be a Turkish team member and want to fly my new model IMPULSE (from bn models) with Plettenberg motor ....

now I still did not buy the motor+esc+li-pos yet and still have some hesitations for safety of li-po use ( as I never use before!!)

any advice???? or did I still fly with os 140 rx and ys dz???

The bad thing for a new IC flyer I could not get enough information from manufacturers ( motor and li-po + esc of course).. just advertisments on their web stites!!![:@]

thanks
oscar
