Default RE: Why does it always happen to the good ones??

A single battery in a large gas turbine powered model, lord oh lord, hard to believe !!

All we need (not) is for this to happen at a public display, not even sure exposing such crashes on the internet is a good idea, does this branch of model aviation NO good at all.

Surely after all these years of gas turbine flying one thing we DO KNOW is that integrity of power supplies is of the greatest importance, meaning two batteries, no argument, but no doubt some will. (wonder why Weatronics and powerbox etc use twin batt inputs ?)

Nice to see that the new Weatronic Micro Receivers have two battery inputs.

Abuse my comments if you wish but at least do it at a technical level !!
