I tried responding to the last post a couple times and the messages don't seem to go through.. Lets see if this gets posted... basically, I will keep trying to get a fuse from 3DHS. I also need to review the downline hazards of stalling from Scott's book.. Maybe try to contact him to get his inputs on how to avoid a staill on a downline in the wind with the Vyper 48"..

Hi GYRO / Snowdog/ Yowzilla,
I am getting back with you after having several rounds of email with Aaron from 3DHS. They don't sell the fuselages separately for 48" Vypers. His guess about my crash was a snap on the downline pullout, but not sure why. Could have been local turbulence or a "non-obvious" reason.. will never really know.

I came close to pushing the button for another Vyper 48" but I am going to run some experiments with my SHP with a Guardian in it to see if it can stabilize roll during dowline pullouts.. I would like some type of insurance on a Vyper 48" before anymore downlines with a swept-wing plane.. too expensive..

I plan to get a couple of 6S 5000Ah LiPo's for my old 55.5" Extra260 and fly it for awhile.. Appreciate all your inputs on LiPo brands.. I will survey our Austin HCAM club for their experiences with a 5AH range 6S LiPo. If I can get 100 cycles out of one, I guess paying $114 for a Glacier 45C would be worth it.. Yowzilla, I did not see a Thor 6S larger than 4400 when I was researching.. I see GenAce 5300 30C's also for $115. Hopefully I can find something that will not puff after 15 or 20 cycles like the NanoTechs did. After scouring the web I found several additional guidelines that I will try to follow for break-in, charging & storage.

Thanks for the update Jamie, glad you got ahold of one of their team pilots to help you troubleshoot.

Just throwing this out there, but if you buy glaciers from [MENTION=2589]GaryBuddyRc[/MENTION] and they puff after 15 cycles of 3D airplane use, I'll buy them back from you... I'm that confident in their products.

I flew the SNOT out of my Vyper at the LVSC when I was in Vegas until '12. Was very comfy with LOW Knife Edge passes down the runway with that plane.
