Battery security a Warning !!!!

But your just an animal with that poor logo lol

lol

While inverted my battery decided to leave the heli and was chopped in half by the blades, creating a spectacular fire ball..... The cries of throttle hold from the pitts did little to help. Throttle hold without battery does not as my audience thought change any of the laws of physics....

Ouch!!

Paddy - that brings back memories of my mini pred, although the battery never fell out like that haha..

I strap my battery underneath the radio tray on my 700Ns, two straps and Velcro, never had an issue

Tie wraps ? 100 for a pound ?

As long as you Velcro the battery as well. Tie wraps will not prevent the battery from sliding under severe direction changes, additionally if you are unfortunate to have a crash and the battery is damaged they are a lot more difficult to remove quickly.

I have always velcro'd and strapped my rx packs in, seen too many times one falling off and creating mayhem!

Didn't your battery come out at the 3D Champs Laurence during your victory flight? Mikado straps my arse!!

[LaurenceGough]

I've had it happen with two Mikado straps + Velcro so I thought I'd buy the Mikado anti-slip straps and then it happened again at the champs (using two + Velcro), but using three of the anti-slip ones + velcro seems to have done the trick!

Mikado/Scorpion anti-slip pads are the same .

But we're talking about a 12S 3500mAh pack vs a little 3S RX pack here lol..

There isn't a better way that I know of anyway.

I'm using this stuff. I bought it from homebase. I have to say it really is much stronger than normal Velcro plus its a wide roll which is pretty handy.

in fact it's so strong I had to reduce the amount I used just so I could get the batteries out!

Yeah thats the stuff I use. the velcro is often stronger than the adhesive
