The I'm going out flying thread 2016

Good find!

60 degrees with a 7-10 cross wind makes for a great day in January.

Had something happen today I have never experienced. Taking off on my second flight the engine died. Had plenty of speed so floated it down and restarted it and engine was rough and again cut off.
Started with the switch and worked toward the ignition. Turns out a tab connecting two cells of the NMHI 4.8 2000 pack had released from the battery. A quick soldier job and perfection for the rest of the day. Feel very fortunate it died when it did.
No way to prevent it and no way to really catch it during maintenance as it is under the shrink wrap. I hope it is long odds on that ever happening again.
Soon to maiden my 40% Radiowave and thinking of not having a separate battery for the ignition. With two A 123's receiver batteries I will have plenty of power to service the ignition from them.
