Does anybody on here have a DLE-170? If so, what is the fuel consumption like?

My understanding is that LiPo and LiFePO4 are both types of lithium ion batteries.

Spektrum's Smart LiPo and LiFe batteries have integrated management boards.

I use 4 cell AA Eneloop packs for ignition service and see no benefits in using anything else. I have some models with 2S LiFe packs, but I may go back to subC for my bigger models and Eneloop (or LiPo and UBEC) for the smaller ones as I don't like the flat discharge curve of the LiFe.

It's a Norwegian Blue. Buy a new one.

@martin collins 1 I would use studding epoxied or medium cyanoed into carbon tube (2mm studding and 2/4mm tube or 3mm studding and 3/5mm tube) with clevises or ball links.

The time frame given for eVTOL taxis in that release is similar to that in other countries. Volocopter are talking about operations in Paris this summer.

The CAA etc refer to us all (traditional modelers and FPV) as remote pilots.

This is the report on the CHIRP site - https://chirp.co.uk/report/ga1358/ The 4nm diameter implies to me that it is not for a traditional model site (extended line of site perhaps).

I periodically cycle my NiMH packs on a decent charger discharging at around 1C and charging at around 0.75C.

From this and your other topic it sound like the thrust angle is incorrect and you don't have the skill to manually control the throttle induced pitch change. Sort out the thrust angle before doing anything else.

The police currently use unmanned aircraft LOS. It is not surprising that they are interested in using them BVLOS.

Insufficient pilot skill for the model and/or setup.
