Ok.... I worked out this system for my charged/uncharged packs....<BR>
I put a green band around the charged packs.... Red band on used packs....<BR>
Then I made this set of rules..<BR>
#1 always use the green/red bands and don't get lax with it....<BR>
#2 always test the pack voltage before it goes into the plane....<BR>
I should have made a #3 rule saying that if I skip #1 or #2, to have someone kick<BR>
me right square in the butt!<BR>
Ya, you guessed it! I got really lucky and made it just to the last manuever in FAI...<BR>
I had a nice short approach for landing, so I didn't really have a problem, but the pack<BR>
looked like a Staypuff marshmellow!<BR>
So, from now on, no matter what, #2 is done... I've even tested a pack, then set it<BR>
down to do something, then picked up the wrong pack to put in the plane. Anything <BR>
can happen, so from now on, it's test the pack, put it in the plane! Period! lol<BR>

Chris,<BR>While we're telling stories on ourselves I did similar this weekend.<BR>The Peoria contest was my first with the new electric pattern plane. We had a rain delay<BR>on Saturday and planned to catch up on Sunday, which we did thanks to Bob Wilson.<BR>Anyway, I flew 2 rounds early Sunday then didn't expect to fly again until the afternoon.<BR>I was thinking I wanted to put a charged pack in the plane right away so I'd have one less thing<BR>to do in case I got in a hurry.<BR>Well... I didn't. But I thought I had! :-(<BR>Result was I barely limped back after aborting the reverse cuban in the Advanced sequence.<BR>I was lucky!<BR>By the way...<BR>I REALLY like the "E" plane!!!<BR>JLK<BR> <BR>

<TD vAlign=top>I am painting the Emotion and I need to do it pretty quick. I was a complete idiot I guess today, I flew the contest yesterday with 4 rounds and one test flight in the morning, though I was good for a test flight this morning, then I was going to switch battery packs. Well, I didn't make it through the flight. Bye Bye Abbra! lol <BR>Oh well. On to the next one. <IMG src="http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/04.gif"><BR>I was considering the Creswell contest so I need to get this done quick. Maybe covering would be quicker. <BR><BR>Anyone know any cheaper PPG resources other than Radio South (no offense Tony, you have always given me perfect paint and service) ? Did the prices go up ( and I can understand with the epa stuff going on) in the last several years? I don't remember them being so high to paint my last one a few years back. With 8-10 colors and clear , I'm guessing it would cost me a fortune to paint this. Any ideas are appreciated!<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>
