batteries plugged in backwards
hi guys,
I have a question about plugging a rx battery in backwards. On two occasions , i have plugged the battery in a rx backwards, not in the battery position possibly. The first time ,i saw smoke come from the rx,ipulled the plug and the pins of the rx came out and the wire burned in to my fingers ( ouch) .The second time ,I did it ,the battert burst into flames in my hands and i got rid of it fast. Ihave been flying for about 20 yrs. and work in the local hobby shop .The guys here say it can not hapeen.
What ,I want to know is have any of you ever had something like this happen.Bear in mind ,it could have been plugged into a channel .
thanks in advance Jerry b
