nmrs Senior Heliman Location: Austin, TX
| So about a minute into my third battery today, the wind really, really picked up. As if on queue, the moment the wind picked up, I got bitten on the back of the knee by a fire ant. I figured the gods must be telling me something, so decided to pack it up for the day. Two more any bites later, and I had the heli on the ground. 5 seconds after that I had a dead fire ant squished between my palm and leg.
I had only used about 1 1/2 minutes of my battery, which I usually fly for 6. My question is, should I charge that battery, or leave it as is and just fly it for 4 1/2 minutes the next time I go out? Obviously I'd prefer more flight time which would mean charging it, but I'm not sure which is better for the battery... What would you guys do? Charge it? Or fly the rest of the battery next time? |
