<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Troy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's all good, man. We are all able to
recognize and appropriately value the real world experience of fellow
modelers. Can't imagine anyone interpreting your comments as biased.
We have to mix our experience and opinion with our limited science when
extensive science is not available. The journey to knowledge has many 15+
degree deviations.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well guys...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just got off the phone with Cameron Smith and
he apparently has had some issues with Li-ion battery packs. As shown below he
had a tragedy affect his life and his love for modeling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sorry to hear that this had occurred. Till
this morning the only incident I knew that was related to lithium
batteries was the Lithium Metal packs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"That Guy" in my previous post was not Cameron
but another modeler I met in California this past Spring. I believe my
information was not complete. I'll stick to the details of my experience and
my opinion rather than say "That Guy's issue was not the same." I apparently
was talking of another individual than was Lance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not paid by any suppliers, and I purchased my
batteries same as any other customer. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not a battery expert, nor did I claim to be a
battery expert. I am just relaying my opinion experience with the
batteries. I feel these batteries are a good alternative to other
technologies. They have dangers associated with them. As with all battery
technologies there are dangers involved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This all being said I will continue to use and
fly these batteries in the future. I feel these batteries are an advantage to
me. The last post I made regarding the performance of the battery is why I
choose to use it. From new information not all Lithium battery suppliers are
using the same technology to serve your flying needs. So I guess you need
to choose what application if any of this technology will work for you. I have
found my system and I feel it is a good one for me. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
have been quiet about this for about a year now,And due to the inaccurate
information being posted on this site I feel I must make a ONE time
statement to the facts of August 7th 2002.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> On August 6th 2002 I received a selection of the NEW Duralite
PLUS Batteries and installed them in my new pattern plane. That night I did
surface deflection set-ups & placed the plane on charge and fell asleep
watching the Braves game.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>That morning we awoke to thick smoke & flames coming from the
downstairs area of my home. My girlfriend,dogs & I got out with only
minutes to spare. THANK YOU GOD!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> The year that followed was a real BUMMER! I was burned out of
my home. Let me tell you from experience loosing your home to model
airplanes AINT WORTH IT!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> During this last year I have found out that the company had a
design/assembly problem,recalls & claims to carry NO insurance. Also has
NO interest or resources to help compensate me for my loses. Admitting they
have had to make some assembly modifications.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> Now I am not going to say ALL Lithium technologies are
bad.They may not all have R/C applications. Do your homework. There are
companies out there that have real engineers & years of product
development, And product liability insurance to protect YOU and them. NOT
JUST COLOR MAGAZINE ADS!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=523031014-01092003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> New technologies will be coming to this hobby and all parts of
our lives, Do yourself & your loved ones a favor. Do your homework,Don't
be so quick to bring the latest & newest products into your home without
making sure the BEST testing,design & Manufacturing has been put into
these products. Not just COLOR MAGAZINE & INTERNET
ADS!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
