Default RE: E-Starter prop and power question

ORIGINAL: Time Pilot
I see you've installed the stock battery hatch. Have you secured it in any way? Unless GWS has changed the design, there is a good chance you'll see your batteries leave the plane when the plane encounters some G's.
Uh yeah... I can vouch for that. I had my brand new 2100 3S lipo "exit" the plane on a hard bank. 200' drop does not do a lipo good (poof). Nor for the plane. It did a nose dive straight into the terf, and broke into 5 or 6 pieces. The lipo was done for. But I glued the E-Starter back together, and she still flies to this day! Her nickname is now Frankenplane though. And sponsored by Gorilla Glue!
