With the ever increasing popularity of electric powered flight, it is important to discuss safety issues since many things are quite different when compared to fuel engine power systems. When we speak of electric power (or simply “electrics”) we must be concerned with the safety aspects of:
1) Motor operation
2) Proper use of batteries to power the electric motors and
3) The charging of those batteries.
