Price drop to $100 plus shipping

Have not used this in quite some time so it needs a new home. There is a crack on part of the FDX10 that doesn't affect the performance of the regulator in any way. It's cosmetic. I'm looking to get $100 + shipping but if it doesn't move fast, I'll entertain dropping the price. (dropped from...

Let's just hope they have the book thrown at them.. I'd like to think them hoodwinking the Dutch while out on bond will give them even more time to enjoy our federal prison system, as well as any other. I am curious to know what they've been up to while on the run. New dive related dive...

I have one if you are still in the market. Used very little. Great shape

They may have already recovered them. I'm assuming when it rolled they either came out and landed separately, or they removed them prior to the lift. [Edit: I think I can see the engines]

We may hear from them in the distant future, but you can bet we won't until the criminal investigation and whatever follows takes place. I'm sure they all lawyer'd up once the criminal investigation started. As for the responsibilities of the watch. It has been outlined here by both...

Frank, @Wookie I figure you are one of the best here for this question. How liable is a Captain if the crew member assigned to anchor / fire / idiot watch goes to sleep without the Captains knowledge - because the Captain was scheduled to be sleeping? And has this now moved into the criminal...

My understanding is yes

Apparently not. Hearkens back to previous discussion in this thread regarding to a crew member waking up hearing a pop like someone falling.

Preliminary Report: Marine DCA19MM047 "Initial interviews of three crewmembers revealed that no mechanical or electrical issues were reported. At the time of the fire, five crewmembers were asleep in berths behind the wheelhouse, and one crewmember was asleep in the bunkroom"

I have a 35W HID canister light that came with a LiPo, and with passive balancing. It was incredibly bright but the battery was a real PITA and had to be replaced. I suspect another can light I have also has a LiPo in it but I have never needed to open it up, so I can't say for sure. I'm not...

I think most electronics today require more power than NiCads can handle, not to mention, NiCad batteries were horrible with "memory" issues = losing capacity, unexpectedly. (You have to 'cycle' them to keep them fresh) NiMH pretty much got rid of the battery memory issues, but they certainly...

Really comes down to size of the packs and how many. There would be nothing small about it if something the size of lithium scooter battery cooked off. Most of the YouTube videos of LiPo's fire-balling are pretty small. And it can rage for quite a while when that chain reaction takes...

This should have happened much sooner if it were to be truly effective. If I had to guess, the owners have probably been an open book and this is just part of the dance. Had they not been cooperative, warrants would have likely been executed very soon after the accident, or when they...

Incorrect.. Li-Po's are more volatile. Li-Ion is canned and harder to anger. Not sure if you read my previous posts about lithium chemistry and these bags... It's one of the reasons I asked the question, "Were there Scooters on-board" (real DPV with lithium batts) on this trip. I also...

You pretty much answered your own initial question - which may have been your intent. One or two people die = no national news coverage, things often get swept under the rug.. 30+ divers / people die in their (hopefully) sleep, "authorities" are going to be forced to revisit standards / rules...

Yes, I believe most were cheap LiPo batteries in the hover-boards that flamed. There is a difference in the build / chemistry quality of LiPo batteries, but sometimes it is hard to determine which brand is coming off which line in China (etc) due to re-branding. You can learn a lot via...

A significant number of remote control model airfields (and r/c car tracks) require all LiPo's to be charged in a fire containment bag, regardless of battery capacity, even if you are sitting there monitoring the charge. It can be a PITA to remove batteries out of an air frame when you could...

I seriously doubt the fire started in the bunk area. Had a small device flamed, I suspect someone would have noticed it before people were overcome. Actually, I don't think a phone sized lipo would be capable of overcoming everyone down there. Start a fire? Yep.. But, it wouldn't be raging...
