<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>

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>

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>

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>
