Was having trouble with acheiving lift on the eagle 50 charged the pack still did not lift more than a couple inches off the floor put different rx in did not make any difference so i dicided to look for another motor. Have to for waite upgrade to brushless so was looking for another carbon motor . just got through charging battery and dicided to put volt meter on it and discovered one complete cell was not there 8.4 volts is all i had there hmmmm? so i think i found the problem pulled the battery out of model and one cell is twice the size of the other two just thought I would share this so off to the lhs I go.

that is the perfect reason to have a good balance charger to eliminate a problem before it causes a major problem  = VIC |

While it's a great idea to have a balance charger the cell was bad anyway. Visual inspection, checking voltage of packs after flight and and after charging is key to good safety with lipos.
Happy landings
