Andre Killian had his Acro Wot with geared motor.
Charl Pienaar on the left with an Urban Hawk and Henri Robertson on the right with a Rainbow.
Another shot of Henri's Rainbow (powered by an AXI 2820/12 with 3700mah 3 cell Flightpower battery)- his first aeroplane - makes a good trainer and flies similar to a Cub.
We also have some mini Sticks - very nippy and fast ! Andre van Rensburg has one - named "Bliksem" for reasons best not published ....if you don't know the story ask him when next you see him!
Claudio Damin's mini Stick was also there and I am told Grant Brook bought all the hardware on Saturday and should also have a mini stick flying soon.
Andre Killian ( a seasoned electric flyer ) had a mishap when he made up a S5 pack and used a parallel connecting lead instead of series lead connector - end result the two cell 7.4 volt Lipo pack being over loaded and it got badly out of shape!! An expensive mistake and as Andre pointed out perhaps a good idea to make parallel and series connecting leads up in different colours to avoid making a mistake.
As the pack was ruined it was used to show what happens if one of these Lipo packs pick up a short - could have catastrophic consequences , hence reason to treat these packs with the greatest of respect !!
Next time I will give some feedback on the Oil burners ....they must be feeling left out by now .... just worried I will ruin the camera lens with that messy substance that they use to power those noise makers....better get a camera with a good Zoom lens!!
