I am now patiently putting all the extra lipos I brought back on a storage charge.
Ah, so you were using Li-Po’s to power your model, Justin. That’s why you said you were using a BEC! :shock:
In my infinite stupidity I associate Li-Po’s with powered flight so I had assumed you were using 4 or 5 cell ‘metal hydride battery in your glider. (I’m such a numpty sometimes. :roll: Okay, all the time! :oops: )
If I might just interject in my usual pedantic manor. Strictly speaking, a BEC is part of an ESC. What I believe you were using in your glider wing is actually called a U-BEC (Used to known as a Utility battery elimination circuit, these days it tends to be known by the Americanism of ‘Universal battery elimination circuit‘.) In simple terms it’s a voltage reducer. Used to eliminate the risk of damaging the rx & servos from the relatively high voltage produce by a Li-Po battery.
As for flying on Big L again…….We’re always pleased to fly with sensible pilots Justin. If you’re looking for some company when you’re intending to fly at any location, just post a thread on this forum. Someone will probably reply. Actually I think Alan Perse lives up your way. And if you’re coming down to Wexford…. either myself, or B Keith or Patrick will probably join you.
