    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    Kurt, thanks for the post. This was a great exchange of information. I hope pilots see everything and weigh the options per their particular setup. I'd also love to see a more modern test on a 40% plane. (unregulated and with HV servos)

    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    I think I'm going to do some research. I want to understand why people think Li-Ions are "safer" then Lipo. I know for a fact that Li-Ions are flamable and can explode when they vent. I'll try to find out more info on that. I also want to know about Fromeco's testing and 11A/22A findings...

    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    Li-on: Not needing to be at a storage charge when not in use. That's a plus. Weight = Small advantage here, not huge, but Li-Ion has the small advantage. Safety = Another small advantage here. However, Li-Ions CAN explode and vent like Lipos. Not sure what the Li-Ion advantage is...less fire...

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    I'm not saying that's what caused it...just noticed the wire that seems to have a ton dried CA on it. (could be a photo thing)

    Discussion Freestyle Routine Music

    Here's my tip...pick a song that you're not going to get sick of.....because you're going to be hearing it hundreds of times.

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Did you have CA on the wire where it loops and connects to the ball link? (just looks like a lot of CA residue on the wire. You might have made it too brittle. You only use 1 single small drop of medium (so it doesn't run) into the crimp to seal the crimp.

    3DHS 92" Edge 540 (Electric Build)

    Have you ever flown a 50cc electric plane? (not being rude, honestly asking) Instant power, no problems with a faulty engine, no mess, a TON quieter. Lots of fields don't allow gas planes before/after certain hours. There are pros and cons to both...Andy flew a 104 with a 120 all this past...
