We discuss New Battery Lasts 1500 Cycles, Avoiding Miracle of Flight Enamorment, Thinking Through a Power System – a continuation of our power system theory series started in Radical Cast #002. We discuss an actual model I fly, the GWS Sky Hero. You’ll want to have the Setup and Performance Chart below in view to follow along.
These guys don’t usually make it too long, enjoy the glow while it’s there. The video is awesome.

Jack reports on paint used: Just cheap Ace Hardware “Touch ‘n tone” Antique white, # 55281830. I took a piece of canvas with me ant that matched the best.
Nice Job Jack!
