<DIV>Hi Bob,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could it be that your battery was just too cold?</DIV>
<DIV>I've had that happen.</DIV>
<DIV>As the season progresses and our batteries get a lot of use, and they, like us, get a little tired from time to titme.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If that happens again unplug the battery wait a minute or two and plug it in again.</DIV>
<DIV>When I've done that it goes back to one beep.</DIV>
<DIV>I warm it up a little and fly my whole sequence.<BR> </DIV>Jim Quinn

<DIV><SPAN>Could be something as simple as a bad connector on the battery. Double check it, clean it and tighten up the tension on it if possible.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I had something happen Saturday that is new for me . . . . I was going to put up a flight with my 62" Osiris for a club airshow, I advanced the throttle to take off, the plane accelerated, then the motor quit. The Castle Controller was emitting two beeps, indicating a low voltage error. One of the club members had a meter that measures individual cell </SPAN>voltages<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> and everything looked OK. I used another pack to put up a flight with no issues.</SPAN></DIV>
