Oh man ... Devastating. I'd be on my knees, crying.

Re: Sad news from Christian Ludwig Modellbau...
Been occupied elsewhere lately, and just noticed this scarcely credible tragic news. All that inspiration, hard work, and those irreplaceable unique models up in smoke.
For some, it will be like the loss of 1000s of master tapes at Universal Music back in 2008...

I showed my wife the pictures of this tragic event, I for one will now be charging all my batteries in an open metal ammo can to reduce any risk of fire. Truly a sad event for all involved.

I'm just glad the man himself is okay, hopefully something can be salvaged. I am seriously reconsidering my use of LiPos.

Problem is not "RC batteries", but LIPO batteries. There is a big difference between NIMHs and LIPOsSon of a gun-ner wrote:Well, I'm new to RC and RC specific batteries, but I'm not new to rechargeable batteries, it really makes me wonder why people have had bad experiences with RC batteries, yet rechargeable batteries of all types are just as common or even more common in a lot of cases.
I can charge my 24volt 3amp hour batteries in 15 minutes, they are NiMH's, been doing it for years, although the charger has a cooling fan, it wouldn't stop anything major.
And like I said, never known a battery problem on site, and phone batteries must be one, if not the most prolific rechargeable battery, yet problems with them are very few and far between.
Saying that, I still wouldn't leave a phone or any other battery of any type on charge unattended or over night, because I don't trust them.
This makes me question the manufacture of our RC rechargeable batteries, why are they less safe than other types?

Re: Sad news from Christian Ludwig Modellbau...
I dread to think what his next project will be as it appears to require the services of a lump hammer
But whatever his plans it pleases me that he is getting up and running again,
May good fortune follow him in his endeavours

I would consider fire resistant construction materials for sure in workshop interior.
