I am going to confirm it was the ESC/BEC

RE: RX freaking out

Hey Chris,

No worries on sounding condesending, not at all. A good idiot check is what I'm trying to do, as in "What stupid thing did I do this time?"

RE: Lipo Saftey - Reminder

No fire, the can smothered it. Lots of smoke and stink.

I also like to "baby sit", but admit I've gotten into the habit of walking away from my smaller packs.

RE: Lipo Saftey - Reminder

I was using a Astro Flight 109, the rate didn't change, the charger display showed the pack had taken .8mAh.

No idea of why it blew. My gut says the pack was abused in it's former life. But I...

Lipo Saftey - Reminder

We all here about and now I've lived it.

RE: Super Sportster 60

With only a few flights on the lipo's it's tough to say. But judging from the quality of other Skyshark products I have, I am happy.

RE: SkysharkRC Edge 540

This kit has gone together quick. The guys at SkysharkRC have done a great job.

RE: 157" Discus Glider

Well I'm back for a bit. I'm all ready to go, just need the time and a nice day. I like the idea of more money & less hours in compensation for our hobby. Or is it an addiction?

Anyway, Big...

RE: First Foamie What did I do wrong

After being out of the hobby for over 8 years, it's taken me awhile to understand why anyone would want a foamie. But 3D looks so good I have to do it. Now that I've built and flown a foamie, you...
