"stops working" as in totally fails yes, if it's the battery that supplies the BEC you are done but there is little chance of that. Most likely is you will run the battery down to the point the fans stop turning but you'll still have enough to power the BEC and hopefully can make an emergency landing.

Only one BEC , so it's 50/50. If that one craps out it's over since you will have no power to the receiver. I've been flying this one since day 1 and never had a issue but I do keep eye on my battery packs.

I have a question. How is the LiPo 6s power supply configured in the A-10 model (2x80mmEDF). If one of the batteries stops working, will one EDF turbine and some servos stop working, or will the second battery take over the power supply for everything?

and don't forget to clip your finger nails. Best, LB

That's partially why I coat my finished plane with 4 coats of clear spar urethane. Seems like the foam dents if you look at it cross eyed.😉 The clear coat adds a more durable finish, which I found unfortunately doesn't help a bit when crashing. 😤

That hasn't been painted over. And I'm surprised they offered money off for that. I read the post and expected to see damage, I then saw the pics and it was not what I expected. I treat my foam edf's with kid gloves, they lay on cushions in the van yet still have many little dents like that. In fact, Checking CG on most larger foam jets with your fingers will put a larger dent in it. If you layed it on anything hard and not totally flat, it will put a slight mark on it.

One thing I can tell u is this a10 is nice,great foam nice and firm on one I got not soft like I been hearing about.

Stitch, Try using a "HOT" wash cloth draped over the dented area. This can many times bring the ding up enough it is less noticeable or even make it disappear. Best, LB
