Ya great field except for the one tree that jumps out and grabs your airplane out of the sky!

Buckshot, Who is Buckshot? ...Oh, you mean that guy that used to fly in Advanced a few years back. He was pretty good from what I heard, even won an event or two in his day. Whatever happened to him?

Last I heard, he was seen in Mexico riding a mule, wearing a sombrero, sporting a couple of 6 shooters and drinking some Jose Cuervo!!!! Singing a song about 3W and Yak 54's....I think he even had a tattoo of a 29 X 12 Three blade on his forearm. He was one bad dude! :12:

Oh it was bad. Very bad. Everyone was broken up about it except for Artie who actually seemed to find some humor in it.

R.I.P. Edge 540 with the uncharged batteries.

Ya, it went through some trees at about 90mph during practice. I contacted Fromco, the ''unofficial word'' I got was back when I purchaced the A123's at that time they diden't feel it was nessassary to "ballance" the cells while charging with the ion cube; they feel what most likely happened was one cell was getting charged & the other was not. Once the one cell in the pack would reach full charge it would turn the charger off.Resulting in only a "partial" charge. I had about 200 flights on the plane. They said that was plenty of cycles to put the cells far out of ballence. My only complaint is, I wish they would have ucking contacted me when they discovered a123's needed to be ballenced!! I could have simpily sent the batteries back & have them add ballencing leads. But no! Now my pro built Carden is nothing but a big pile of ****tttt!!!!!!!
