Já, ljótt er að sjá, hér varð talsvert tjón í rafmagnsbruna. 39% Katana, 2.6m Extra, Super Bandit o.fl vélar urðu eldinum að bráð. Það er víst aldrei of varlega farið.
[quote]Here a some pics of my garage after a 10s pack went up yesterday.
I was using balancers while charging and was keeping an eye on them in between x factor.
My smoke alarm sounded and I ran to the garage with a sinking feeling of what might be a battery fire. On seeing the smoke I ran to get a co2 extinguisher and held my breath from the black smoke now engulfing the garage.
This took about 15 secs before returning with a gas mask and extinguisher, by this time I could not see in front of me only a glow where the fire was so I aimed the co2 and finished off the bottle which helped but couln't quite put it out.
The pack must have exploded as other parts of the garage were alight and by now had caught the Katana and extra alight. The li-po's in those planes must have also caught from the heat etc and I had to rely on the fire briade to finish off the job.
What a mess! My house still reaks of smoke and I have spent all day scrubing the walls in the utility room and airing the rest of the house.
I havn't the strength to face the garage just yet.
All I can say that in just 2 mins max the place was filled with nasty dense black chemical smoke. I had the chargers set to Li-Po, used balancers, had a smoke alarm, was checking every 10-15 mins and it still caught me out.
I ve lost my best aircraft and feel gutted.
Next time I will use the bomb box for charging.[/quote]
