GOOD OLD MURPHY! If it weren’t for his law, I might be
writing pet obituaries somewhere instead of enjoying a position here
at the pinnacle of aeromodeling journalism. “If anything can go
wrong, it will go wrong.”
Our miniature aircraft can be complicated things and there are
plenty of ways that they can go wrong. My e-mail brings new
stories all the time.
Mark Miller wrote to me about his exciting experience with a
simple, inert box of batteries. He stores his Li-Poly cells in a plastic
box rather than in the aircraft. Check. Each pack is in its own
compartment, to prevent shorts.

AND SO ANOTHER columnist springs forth! First, I have a plea
for help. Your input is vital to this column’s success, so please
contact me with information, questions, concerns, tips, warnings,
and close-call stories. More about this later.
