At the field I looked up to see a friends EDF producing a nice smoke line then I realized I have to get the camera since there isn't much I can do to help. I got the landing and the aftermath. He was flying on the second pass and noticed a loss in power. It was a 6s1p 5000mAh 20C Turnigy Lipo with not that many cycles. Not for sure what caused it but at least he had a separate pack for the receiver and servos so he could land it.

  • gas can ? is the can for if it gets bad you just pore the gas on it then walk away

  • Who would ever think of using ANY 20C battery for an EDF?! And, who would ever use a regular turnigy battery for a high powered EDF instead of a Nano-Tech?

  • 0:36 sure we put it out with fuel ????

  • "Not for sure what caused it" - I'm gonna go with electrons.

  • That was quite the landing considering the lipo was burning up inside it.

  • @TheSkylineflyer OK--I didn't know that--but....everybody knows, or should know, not to use a 20C battery on a Jet.

  • @RCllamadude Those had to come from a bad batch. Both were getting puffy and never once got hot or brought below 3.7 volts per cell.

  • @rcsailer What? Gas? The gas is a great glue for foam. Try it on one of your nice foamies. ;)

  • @legoliker7517 You obviously know nothing about C ratings on batteries. C rating times Amps (MAh)5.0 means that it was good for 100Amp draw. I was only pulling 65 Amps on that ESC.

  • @PLANAutomation You mean the "High discharge" label? OK, maybe that is exaggerating--but it does say that it's 20-30C.

  • @legoliker7517 Who would ever think of posting this comment to YouTube without reading the label on the battery in the video?

  • 20C??? 40-50c
