RC: Lipo fire is real
01 year ago
Being to the world of RC is so much fun and entertaining, although sometimes you might spend too much time in it and less time with your family. he2. Just want to share with fellow electric flyer, especially when you are charging your lipos. Lipo fire is real, if you are not careful. We can have fun but safety always the first priority. It is better be safe than sorry.
Flyer in US left his lipo charge without supervision and get firefighter came to his home, and see what was found :
This education video shown how a battery might burnt if it overcharged.
Few tips to share :
1. Always set charge rate low, and max 1amp. Yes we do not have much time, but always remember it is always better to be safe.
2. Use a reliable and good charger. I am myself using this charger. so far so good.
3. Power up your charger with good power source.
4. Always use battery bunkers or lipo sack.
5. Never never leave your lipo battery charge without supervision.
6. It is always good to be patient.
7. Have fun flying.
Find this great article in the rc forum about how to read and select power system for you plane. Enjoy and have fun flying.

01 year ago
When i saw this the 1st time, it is awesome and cool. But imagine if this is full blown into a flying droid, now it is scary. The Skynet is here. Cao cao (Singlish : Run Run Run) ha2.
The technology is developed by Daniel Mellinger and Vijay Kumar from Grasp Lab (University of Pennysylvania). The Quadrotor can actually recover from extreme condition and fly steadily without human intervention. The best thing is it can even detect extreme movement and fly into loops. Cool.

Extracted from gizmaq.com
“The “Muecke” (mosquito) is a single seater lightweight sport helicopter concept that combines low weight and corresponding low flying costs in an easily transportable design which would make this flying machine the ultimate in personal aviation.”
Wow. This is actual flying machine for people that love to fly. I might want to have one too when I am really rich like Jerry Wilson (CEO of soloflex). ha2.
