Hi,
I have a Honeybee fp and a Belt CP, both with Li Po's. What opinions are out there on installing Li Po shields and do you know if the Belt has a built in Li Po shield? Or is there another way of protecting the batteries, IE: timing your flight. Thanks a lot.

Some esc's have programmable cutoff features allowing the user to set a predetermined voltage. When the pack hits that voltage, the esc cuts power completely (hard cutoff) or reduces power available (soft cutoff) so you know it is time to land to avoid overdischarging.

There are also various voltage indicating devices out there, li-poly makes one that I have been using on my raptor. I don't pay it much attention but it seems to do the trick. I wouldn't trust it on a purely electric heli if you wanted it to warn you though it might do just fine.

Probably best to time your flights and start out small. Fly for 4 minutes or so then recharge your pack and see how many mah you put back. After that you can increase your flight times to the point where you put back 80% of the packs total capacity without issue.

Great I'll try your suggestions.... Thanks
