Thanks Scott, I thought it sounded like Kero-start. I think you may have figured out the problem yourself; marginal battery. You said "it was at 7.9 volts which should have given me one last flight and then needed charging". You just never know EXACTLY how much battery you have left with different variables always involved; and yes, experience does help, especially with 11 hours of operation, but time does take its toll and the battery may not be performing as it did earlier. Unfortunately, if you are using a Duralte charger, you don't know the mAH you are using or putting back into the battery to have some sort of indication how the battery is performing or when the battery statrs to show signs of degraded performance.

In regards what to do after the first non-start; a second attempt can be done, but if it doesn't lite then, I would not attempt anymore starts until the cause can be determined. The battery would always be the first place to look.

Charge your turbine pack and see if you get a good start on the first attempt. This should get you going in the right direction.

Sorry to hear about the damage and good luck.
