Yes.  A shorted out 10S-5000 mah lipo pack can turn 6mm bullet connectors into molten metal in an instant.

Guys who say, "Oops!"  a lot should steer clear of electric-powered
airplanes.

Agree Dave

As in any competition you have to know your equipment ,keep up with
maintenance ,and have backups.
I saw many smoked batteries,and burnt speed controllers at the
Nats ,,as well as flame outs from the YS Engines.

Competition is supposed to be rough on equipment .I know of plenty
Neu motors that have spun.or burnt and took forever to be repaired
or replaced and upgrades continue as in any competition engine.

But I will agree if you are new to the sport .or not very
handy ,,Electric my give you an easier time in competition

I would agree that a properly running YS170 is still
competitive...but with
the "cost" of more fiddling, more maintenance, and less margin on

meter.  For anyone starting from scratch..I think it is getting
very hard to
make the argument that electric is more expensive.

The Neu F3A certainly is putting the most RPM to the prop of any
of the
currently used electric setups, and the potential "cost" is that when
propped to make the big power...it also has the capability of
smoking lipos
if the throttle hand is too heavy.  The newer higher KV Plett Evo
might be
in this category as well, but I've not seen one run yet.

Regards,

Dave

Well stated Matt. Although I do have to say that the most
balistic and
powerful plane I saw at the Nats was Bobby Satalino's Beryl with a
non CDI
YS 170. Next in performance was anything with a Neu like Dave
Lockhart.

E. has many options that deliver the mail. Still a good YS is
viable. Mike

I took a 3 minute flight on Dave Lockhart's Bravo several weeks
ago...it was
my first on a full blown electric. And it was enough to convince
me that wet
powered systems are behind.

The Electric Bravo is superior in its powerplant than practically
every wet
set-up I've seen. (That's not necessarily true of all electrics
but Dave's
set-up is something else...like cheating)

It's gonna be expensive but if one wants to be really serious
about pattern,
electric power has got to be in your future. And no, it has
nothing to do
with judging in my opinion. Electric just makes power delivery (of
the type
we demand in pattern), easy.
