I think there is a proper way to dispose a lipo battery without contaminate the environment.

We are aware of how to properly dispose of a lipo, thank you. We were merely doing it for fun, there was no malice intended, I assure u.

no worries, we dispose lipo with care.

Bro, think tmr we write to LTA and request for ban vehicles of all classes lah. We must be careful not to 'contaminate' the environment. Brudders driving to fly at siltronic, pls cycle or walk with yr helis in tow. Thanks very much.

Our Master-Koh's copter-X unfortunately suffered a mechanical failure which resulted in some carnage. Brudder Koh really showed me that you do not need expensive bling to master 3d, it's the carpenter and not his tools. So as the hokkien saying goes: if you cannot swim, dun complain the swimming trunks too big.

A crash is NOT the end but an opportunity to upgrade. Piro-flip ALL THE WAY!

There's a taco-ed lipo in the pic so as usual, we couldn't pass up this opportunity to have a little educational fun. Our flight commander provided the tools of trade. For this round, 01x3s5000 & 6s3000 lipos were laid to rest.

That's how freaking HOT lipos can get when it burns

We used a steel tip to puncture the lipo and obviously it was left within the lipo packs before, during and after ignition. It 'was' a good tool to have...The lipo fire actually melted the tip.

Saved by 6mm connectors

I understand most brudders use either a dean plug or jst connector for the rx batt. A bro once told me NOT to use the small connectors for safety reasons which he did not exactly specify. Anyhow I heeded his advice and used 6mm (way overkill) for all connections henceforth. I didn't really appreciate his advice until today when I almost wrecked my 700. When the bird landed, there was a bulge protruding from the canopy. To my horror, the rx batt had fallen off and the bird was hanging onto its dear life by a pair of BIG-ASS 6mm connector. So I guess the 700e will live to see more flights afterall.



Flight Deputy signing off...until we meet again, fly safe and God bless us all. Shalom.

It is my first big heli crash
Back to rotor for align parts again. This heli is still in the infant stage and crashed in this way.

That was a close shave. Next week to have more exciting flights.

Don't challenge police.

Don't challenge police.

Police??
How are they involved

[feudallordcult]

Don't challenge police.

Bro, thanks for advice. We promise to be on our best behaviour next sat.
