[NSRCA-discussion] Priceless...or battery life

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

The way this email started, I thought he was selling the crate for the 
prices listed.

Definitely a good idea to check the airborne pack before the first 
flight of the day. Speaking of airborne packs, I am still using NiMH in 
the plane.....the blasted thing keeps on going like the Eveready bunny 
after 5 years of service with about the same output. NiCd never lasted 
that long and we all know about LiPo. Anyone else using "old" 
technology bats with similar life span?

BlankZN Enigma.....$2000.00

Futaba ZAP WCII Radio System.....$600.00

TP - 5300 X 2 Motor Pack....$650.00

All the begging and pleading with my wife to allow me to get this
unit.......$?????.??

Futaba BR-2000 Battery Checker....$60.00

Remembering to include a battery check and actually performing the 
battery
check in a preflight..........PRICELESS



I was at the field after the thundershowers had passed at about 8:30 
this
evening.  The sun was low in the sky.

I put the plane together and installed the moter battery thinking I 
have to
hurry if I want to get a few flights in. I then attached the BR-2000 
and was
shocked to see that the reciver pack was way low.

Needless to say flying ended before it began and the plan is now on the
charger.

Preflights are essential.



Cheers

Walter
