    John f.... I am aware of the veried uses of Lithium-ion cells,Lithium-ion being the type of cell not the chemical make up,lipo being one of them LiFe being another(see Lithium-ion on wiki). As for lipos if treated/cared for correctly there is no reason why they should be dangerous,i think a lot of the fires etc where possably down to lack of user info in the way to handle them when first introduced , education is a good thing but accidents happen unfortunately. Allan Bennett... LiFepo4 poly packs have been around a few years now, yes they are heavier then a lipo but then again how offten do you add nose weight to an airframe. Grant webb... LiFepo4 packs are used a lot as rx/tx power which to me is odd if you realise that the power drop off is very quick much more like a fuel tank then batteries. Thanks for the link I have seen it before, its the only one I have come a cross wilst looking into LiFepo4 safety. Ian

    Allan Bennett.. I am referring to the lifepo4 poly flight packs(looks like a lipo ),A123's are the can cells like nimh packs.**LINK** Ernie.. Swimbo is also involved in building and flying so no deception and I do like the quiet life. Ian

    I have been puzzeled to why lifepo4 flight packs are not used more and the lack of availability. I live in a smallish flat with no garden/shed and am banned(by swimbo its her flat)) from owning lipos just incase of misshaps . I do have powered gliders using a123 hard cells but thay are limited to low amh . The poly flight packs have good amh ,fast charging and can be run down to next to no volts, more life/charges and as far as I know don't self combust if a misshap happens,just brought a 4s pack from HK that ill be trying soon in a veron Cessna. Any views/comments on the subject good or bad are most welcome. Ian

    From what I can recall from building a DB moth 40(cirrus moth) and modding it to look like a gypsy moth is the main difference is the cowling and front fuz up to the cockpit and the under carriage, straight axel on the cirrus and the X type on the gypsy. I built mine when I was 15 or 16 as my first scale aircraft fitted with an early os 48 surpass it even had closed loop for rudder and ele.

    if you have an off cut still try an get hold of some tar/glue remover from a auto paint shop,or panel wipe .both are potent so a test is needed. ian

    i was also thinking it was a inwood improver , had one years ago as my first low winger perchased as a pre built from inwoods stand at west maling show.

    sounds to me that you havent keyed up the base silver befor applying your top trim paint.use some 1200 wet and dry(maybe on a test panel first) or even a gray scotch bright pad,use both wet with a bit of soap on the paper/pad(stops clogging). Ian(ex car painter)
