[lektrik_flyers] The all important plane question

Hi Guys,

I am having trouble with my Slinger batteries.  Ross and I flew it for 
about 15 minutes yesterday with no trouble.  Flew nicely.  When we landed 
the battery was extremely hot and swollen.  When the battery cooled down 
the swelling went down and I could even charge it.  This surprised me a 
little.  I can not work out what is happening.  Any ideas fellow pilots.  I 
am not sure what the standard motor on the Slinger is but it is 
brushed.  There were no problems with the ESC.  The battery is a LiPo 1.7 
amp, 11.1 volt.

Any clues on a solution?????????????????  I guess I could always upgrade to 
a brushless.

Thanks,

John Gray
