<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><p>The silicone brought this to my mind. I had a speed control roast in my plane this spring, it smoked up pretty good and pretty well looked like a charcoal briquet; but luckily nothing else burnt in the plane and the batteries didnt get damaged (apparently) as the leads desoldered and opened the circuit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I noticed the next time out that every screw or bare metal part exposed inside the fuse had a rust coating on it. Im curious if the insulation on the PC board or wires burn producing a corrosive gas; anyone? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then that makes me wonder about the receiver and wire connections in the radio..although I have since replaced the receiver.</p></div><br>
