[NSRCA-discussion] Some more lipo fire videos

[Jay Marshall]

I had been charging in a clay pot partially filled with sand. Now I think
I'll add a top!

Maybe this is a good time to share these videos - if you haven't seen them
they are well worth watching. Look on the left side of the bottom of the
main page.
 
Lipos fires 1,2 & 3

I have become a bit of a lipo safety nazi lately - ever since I had my first
lipo fire a couple of months ago.
 
I have been using lipos since the early days. I'm a smart guy with a
background in electronics and all things electrical. I am known as "Electric
Larry" at our field. I teach other people how to do electrics and what NOT
to do. I'm the go-to guy in our club. In spite of all that - I had a major
lipo fire a couple of months ago that destroyed almost all my RC gear and
planes and came very close to burning down my house. It was 100% my fault. I
was doing too many things at once and had become casual/careless in my care
of lipos.  I had gone YEARS with no issues at all and had gotten complacent.
 
My equipment and charging routines are now 100% improved.
 
Be careful guys.
 
Larry
