We spent the last month screwing around with a wacko Environmentalist
lithium Iron battery. Some times  it would start and some times it would not
start. We did not want to fly it under those conditions because if
the battery voltage drops below 10.1 volts the Motect will quit.
The M&W ignition has its own 18 volt lead acid battery.
Now the M&W ignition  works OK.

We took the lithium Iron out and put in a lead acid battery.
Started right up.
I mounted a cheep Chinese Volt Ohm Meter I got at
harbor freight on the instrument panel to monitor the battery voltage.
Dan flew it to 10,000 feet with a go pro watching the altimeter so if we
are lucky I will have that video next week.

I noticed with my new camera with the 600 telephoto lens he only climbed
out about 45 degrees. Sorry about the jerky video. I need a gyro stabilizer
for my camera.

We did not have the Livel attitude display on the instrument panel this time.
Maybe next time.
