THIS SPRING, The Wyoming Valley R/C
Flyers hosted a float fly at Moon Lake
County Park in Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania. There were 30 registered
pilots and many local and not-so-local clubs
represented.

ONE OF our associate vice presidents
(AVP), Jim Martin, provided this picture of a
12-volt gel cell battery. The battery was
connected in reverse polarity during charging.
Luckily, the modeler disconnected the
swelling battery
before it
exploded.
We must
remind everyone
to be vigilant
when charging
all types of
batteries.
