Feeling pretty bummed about this one.
I could've totalled my Evo today, just because i didn't check my battery.

I've recently converted my Evo to SWM and fitted three 9255 on cyclic, i guess i underestimated the amps these things consume..

I was out practising some inverted flying and rolls, everything was going great!
Then on the fourth tank, just as i was coming out of a roll, the battery failsafe kicked in, idling my engine.
Thankfully i had lots of speed and good altitude so i managed to auto her down in one piece..
Only thing needed changing was my underwear

Anyway, the evo lives to fly another day. Just thought i'd vent a little and give a heads up. I know i'll never fly again without making absolutely sure my battery is up to the job.
