Worst case scenerio's
Since I'm suffering with after crash nerves and a near escape from a battery packing up on the ground just before take off.
I'm all doom and gloom
What are the most common mishaps with planes and precautions to try and avoid them.
I think I have gone overboard now with my setup and test kit.
Any new battery gets charged four times, checked and discharged with a futaba batter checker/discharger
All servo's are tested with a servo checker for glitching and sticking
Frequency checker used, even though the club has a board showing frequency's in use
Engines run in on a bench setup before being fitted
And like any newbie, asking as many questions as passable down the club to get the best set up advice passable to try and avoid human error.
I have only seen one bin bag case so far which was a spitfire with an engine stall and no fly aways yet
It sounds silly, but I'm now doing a risk assessment to put my mind at rest. Until I can settle down with flying, I wont be able to relax and enjoy it
Thanks Lee
