Default RE: Progress Report...

Chad,

The reason I stalled on take off was because of my battery, my instructor took over and he also couldn't do anything.


After looking into the problem and trying to salvage my battery by cycling it, I came to the conclusion that it was my battery... because I saw it go from 4.8 Volts to 3.6 in a matter of seconds. But I re-adjusted my throttle push rod because the nylon clevise was touching the engine mount screws, just in case...


On the other hand, I bought a new 1650 mah battery and I'm really happy with it, my voltmeter still displays 5.2 volts after 2 flights...
