Default Re: Fly'n with the Circus. RDRC's traveling Circus

I didn't mention that while Josh and I were at the DCRC show in Va. I checked my 110" Yak's batteries on Sunday morning and found one of the receiver packs was at 3.35 volts(should be 6.6). I am using Duralite A123's and as of Sunday morning they had about 10 flights on them. I was shocked to say the least to know that at some point one of the cells went bad in that pack, I had charged them last Wednesday(before I drove to Josh's to put my plane in his trailer). I was also very glad that I had 2 batteries going into the receiver and considering I let Matt Richards "wring" out the Yak on Sat. evening I counted my blessings that the other pack was OK.
Anyway, I called Duralite and told them of the situation and explained that we had Fly for Tots this weekend so they sent my out a new pack yesterday(it will be here tomorow) and they asked that I send the bad pack back as soon as possible.
I just thought I would let everyone know that not only do they donate to FFT every year but they will stand behind their products and get you back in the air.

I'm glad this worked out for you on all accounts, Wes! Duralite is first class and do support their products well.
