Well that seems to have stirred it up but Beave sums it up. Didn't for one moment think I was condescending about Americans its a phrase (go figure) you use. As for the corespondent who asked how much jet building, answer lots, currently 11 in the fleet.

And yes I did spin my T33 through a hangar roof, flew it rather too slow and flicked it pulling in a turn, pilot error, min, owned up immediately.
I guess, according to some of you guys, I am wasting my time installing Dual receivers, Powerbox Royals, Spektrum Powersafe receivers (and the manufacturers are wasting their time producing them !!) etc dual batteries, but I dont think I will pull them out !!

We CANT make things bullet proof , not possible in the real world, , BUT we can load the dice in our favour.

My sincere aplogies if anyone thought I was abusing ANYONE, just telling it as I see it !!

Fire away !!

PS For those who think that channeling TWO batteries through ONE unit such as a Powerbox etc is another potential source of failure then even that can be avoided. On several of my jets I have two batteries connected DIRECTLY to the receiver. One to the battery port, the other via Y-lead on a sevo port. That gives dual battery power without any futher complication and is a system recommended to me many years ago by Tony Frackiowak. I believe he was working for NASA at the time, at least 10 years ago, and that is the system they were then using to create battery redundancy on some of their miniature drones. He recommended it for my BVM F4 and I have used it on several models since with total success.
