After close inspection I can affirmatively state that it is an electronic mouse trap.

I recognize that plane.
I think it's name is "Big Bucks"

I wonder how it flies....I don't see any ailerons, rudder, or elevator....

Probably using "Advanced SAFE", with "pop out" Thingamajigs.

Tis just a cheapie chuck glider...

Not for the LHS owner it isn’t, no.

My guess is the whatchcallit uses the thingamajig to control wingerons or pitcherons ( each entire wing rotates independently to control roll & pitch ) .

So when I am not crashing in to the ground at high speed, I am generally fly one pack as a thermal glider, and fly two packs as a sport glider.

How likely is it to damage / puff the default battery (1300mAh 3S 11.1V 20C LiPo: EC3 (EFLB13003S20)) by flying aggressively?

I have my cheap voltmeter alarm set to 3.7 volts per cell. I usually fly until it starts beeping with no load on the motor. Should I set the voltage alert higher if I am going to be flying more aggressively?

Thanks in advance.

The thingamajig IS a mousetrap. The aircraft is controlled telepathically.

Great... just what we need: telepathic mouses.

This plane doesn't draw enough amps to hurt any lipo.

The only thing that can hurt your lipo is running it below 3.7v per cell.

Fly it like you stole it.

The Conscendo doesn't fly fast enough to crash at high speed....

Thank you.

I am sure they are not 100% accurate, but should I set my voltage alarm to something like 3.8 or 3.9 to give myself some leeway?

Been awhile since I looked in that manual, but ALL EFlite SAFE and AS3x manuals devout a whole page of illustration to checking the AS3x and SAFE function

If you do this you're carrying just dead weight around. Which may be okay if you needed front ballast, but typically Conscendos don't.

The most common criteria is that when you recharge your battery, it should require no more than 80% of it's total capacity to recharge.

IE, a 1000mah battery should not take more than 800mah when recharging. If it requires more, that's okay, but not optimum for battery life.

Voltage is less important. It's not uncommon for batteries to sag well below 3.7V in some applications. But upon landing, the resting voltage goes back up again. What's the right voltage after landing? There isn't one. The criteria is as stated <80% capacity upon recharge. That will take care of it.
