Must be something in the air today. 2nd flight with the Showtime today I put it in almost full throttle. Taking off and banking right I got locked out. She went in at a 45deg angle. After I retrieved the wreckage, I tested the battery and it seems like it lost 2 cells. Before I took off I checked the voltmeter on the dash and it was full green. After the crash it barely lights up the first red light. I was thinking maybe it was sitting there in the weeds for 45 min until I picked it up and thats why it was dead, but, the battery wss about 5 ft. from the crash disconnected, so that rules that out.

So beware, I was using 1400MAH NiMh 5 cell Skyline brand batteries, they might be poor quality.

Ironic thing is I bought a lipoly set up for it Thursday and was going to install it next week.

Bummer. This is my 2nd Showtime in 3 weeks! First on went in when I hooked up the Aileron wires backwards. See Video 'Worlds Record set with SHowtime'.

I'm not sure if I will replace it this time. I really wasn't that happy with the way it performed. I really didn't like the dead spot it low speed.

Maybe I'll get a 30% gasser instead.
