Lipo battery health can be a little mysterious, and seems unpredictable. I had some large ones die after on me recently after about 40 cycles, much too soon considering that they had not been severely mistreated and were a good brand. I suspect the reason they went bad prematurely was because I tend to charge batteries while they are fairly cold to the maximum …

2012 Tillamook Fun Fly was June 9th

A new video was posted on You Tube of Steve flying 3-D with his T-Rex 60oN . It was filmed 10-27-11. At about the 4 minute 50 seconds mark you can hear the engine start to bog down and then flame out over the far end of the runway, but he saves it with a real nice auto. I might try to film it again with better camera settings after Steve gets the fuel problem fixed. Will try setting camera for shutter priority, adding more zoom, maybe a different shooting angle and double checking that the auto focus stays turned off.
