<html><body style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><p>ARCS,</p><p>At the March meeting, Don M. had a question on flying the SAM electric classes with 2 batteries. (One for the motor and the second to power just the receiver and servos.)</p><p>The answer is that the only class that allows for that is the Spirit of SAM (SOS). </p><p><strong>SOS</strong> - Motor power shall be from a single Lithium chemistry cell of no greater than 160 mAh capacity. Cells shall retain the specifications label of the manufacturer and shall be clearly visible in the model or easily removed for inspection A separate cell or battery may provide receiver/servo power. </p><p>There also was a question about folding propellers. Again, only the SOS class can have a folding prop. The LMR and Texaco electric classes must have folding props restrained from folding if used.</p><p>"Propellers may be driven directly or indirectly via a gear or belt speed reduction drive. Protective folding propellers restrained from folding in flight are acceptable." </p><p><br />Hope this helps.</p><p><br />Mister Ed</p><font size="2"></font><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><br /><br /><br /> </p></body></html>
