I have had packs last (some still going strong) for 3 - 4 years and I charge them fully before storage and they stay fully charged (in a safe storage area of course) until I fly again. Even thru the winter months with no degradation. i think the key is to make sure youre flying with a high enough c rating for the system you are using to avoid the puffy condition

Got a short video of Brian throwing down a little 3D with my 92 sporting the new Xion prop from [MENTION=2470]RedwingRC[/MENTION].
The Xion did very well!

Gary did you get your new 40 running?

No, it wouldn't start.
Disassembled at home:
Both plugs had spark. But when tightening down one plug, the threads in the cylinder stripped. I didn't tighten that hard
Carb had fuel in the pump and filter side. Not much if any fuel around the reeds. Both threads stripped upon re-installation of carb.
So... Either I'm a gorilla, or the the threads were to shallow or metal too soft. Never stripped threads on a motor before, and I've had DLE, EME, GP, etc.
Bummed... Gotta send it back to VVRC.

Wow sorry to hear, please keep us informed. Is yours the small plug version? I had heard that you have to be real careful with the threads on them. Not sure what that meant, if could cross thread easy or over tighten.No, it wouldn't start.
