The Wright Stuff Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've just flown my trusty PZ T-28's 100th flight. How about a poll on how many flights people have done with their most flown model? Can be approximate for those who don't keep count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben B Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 We hear lots of horrors stories about lipos going on fire but how often has it happened. As I watched a little 500mah 1s for my 120SR got a bit puffy on the charger I wondered 1) Never had a lipo fire 2) Had a lipo fire but only after crashing the plane (IE major cell trauma) 3) Had a lipo fire but only because I set the charger on the wrong setting (IE time to 'fess up) 4) Had a lipo fire when charging but the battery was damaged / puffed to begin with 5) Had a fire on a perfectly normal battery whilst charging At least that would get a handle on the numbers?

Rich too Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I've got an idea, how about a poll for items in the for sale section - how many people bother updating their ad when the item is nla? I have yet to get a response to any messages I have sent to anyone with items for sale and this morning, I came across another that has already been sold on ebay. what's wrong with these people? can I make a suggestion that ads are automatically removed after a predetermined length of time?

Frank Skilbeck Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 How about a poll on transmitter style preference, i.e. Thumbs on sticks no neck strap Thumbs on sticks with neck strap Stick pincher no neck strap Stick pincher with neck strap Stick pincher with tray or tray type transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Agate Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I've actually had more accidents with Nimhs than with LiPos, so please can you include other battery types if doing a poll based on Ben's suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wright Stuff Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ben, David, Mark, I think that's a great idea, since the degree of risk associated with Lipo fires seems to be something that continues to be hotly debated (pardon the pun)! HOWEVER, I think this poll must be worded very carefully to avoid creating bias, particularly if we want to use the results sensibly. My fear is that people that have had incidents will be much more likely to participate than those who have not, thus fueling the flames of the debate (sorry!). How can we account for this? An additional option of: "I don't use Lipo batteries" would allow a bit more normalization to take place, maybe. And it has to be the logged in member who has directly experienced a fire with his/her batteries and his/her property - no friends, or friends of friends...!!!

Rich too Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 We've had a poll for RX brands used in relation to TX, let's see how many people stick to their TX brand when buying servos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 How about "What TX have you bought in the last 24 months" - would provide a nice contrast to the recent one "What's the main radio brand you fly?", with I suspect very different results...
