After School Flying?

Sukhoikid · 08-01-2006, 10:00 PM

Okay so behind my high school I have a big enough field to fly up to a 90 size plane. Well I mainly want ot just fly my Bype yak for now since there are a lot of people practicing right now with football (which I do that but just kick) cross country, softball, and band. Plus Rotc sometimes. So really just want to fly the Bype Yak.
What I am scared of though is leaving that lithium battery in my truck. Im scared since it has been REALLY hot outside it might get a little too hot in my truck. Where I park is like in direct sunlight during the day. Any ideas??? Would hate to be in school and hear a loud explosion and take out several hundred cars.
By the way had a dream that I did do this and when my truck blew it blew the car next to it then the one next to it and was just a chain reaction. lmao!!!!

Get a tree and put it where you park. That way there will be shade.

Drop out of school. That way you can fly early in the mornings befor it gets hot.

Take out the litho battery and put it in your locker. Should be cooler there than in your truck.

People leave cell phones in cars all of the time and they have lithium batteries also. I haven't heard of any of them blowing up but the life expectancy will suffer.
Here is info for you:
"Lithium batteries like heat, but not too much. In the winter time, try to keep your batteries from the cold as much as possible. Leave them in the car while your flying, or keep them in your cargo pants... etc. At the same time don't let them heat up too much. Try to keep your batteries from reaching 160F after use. This will prolong the life of the cells."
