Well cracked out the 380 at the club after finishing work for the day at MRCHC. Got the 380 up smaked it really really hard. Towards the end of the flight things started to slow down - not like bogging, jus sluggish - and i though speedy was going to brownout. So i quickly landed, pulled the canopy off and pulled out the battery.
The battery was hot - so hot I could not hold it - it literally burnt my fingers. If i had kept flying I believe the battery would have ignited.
I put a few more packs through at a modest pace this time while keeping an eye on the pack. When i got back to the car the temperature gauge read 42 degrees! It was dam hot...hotter than i thought.
So i wonder if its possible to make a battery explode by flying it hard in extremely hot weather.
Question? When Is It Too Hot To Fly
