[NSRCA-discussion] Changing list behavior.

Hey Eric,
After your last emails about the charging incident, I was sure you'd follow
it up with some sort of rule change proposal. I was guessing you would
start with an outright ban on electrics :-), and not a separation of pilots.

I have noticed a behavioral change in this discussion list over the years
when it comes to electric power. There was always some polarization to
Radios and engines etc.
What I noticed most was that the glow era engine owners were very willing to
report their engine failures and a whole myriad of engine fixes and
preventative medicine.
I still see the latter but not as much of the failure reporting. I put this
down to sponsored pilot behavior with all products. I also noted a change at
the top. Now most all the pilots are sponsored in one form or another. We
always had a few sponsored pilots but now the unsponsored pilot is the
exception.
Maybe it is time to have a Pro-Am separation in the awards?
I also noticed that the list does a lot more advertising/selling that it was
ever intended to. That may be or not may be a good thing.
Judging by my off-list in-box a lot of folks do not post on the list what
they think for fear of retributional responses. "Nil illegitium carborundom
men!"
Regards,
Eric.

Nope!,...... I think that I might have also had a similar experience with
the Astro charger.
I had a pak that had been in storage for about 3 weeks and decided to top it
off before flying, but noticed when I connected it to the charger that it
started out at the maximum voltage and started increasing from there into
territory I had never seen before.Recognizing that I had never seen voltages
this high displayed on the screen before, I immediately terminated the
charge. This all happened within a period of 15-20 seconds.

What everybody is assuming is that this was a screw up.It could also just
have been a bad cell The manual does say not to put a fully charged pack on
the charger and discharge first if any doubt.

I can't say how the charger works, but my uneducated guess would be that the
voltage rise (internal impedance) with the application of current would be
different between charged/uncharged cells.

What still bothers me is:- If 3 fully charged cells = 12 V plus, and 4
discharged cells = 12 V Plus, then how does the charger know which is which?
