What's the specs of the batteries and motor amps, watts etc?
Have you cut the wires to that lipo and put the entire battery immersed in salt water to totally neutralise it?

What gliders do you run??? as "Very High Performance" to me sounds like F3B / F3J. Or are you talking Hotliners etc?
Setup pic attached.
Sure, setup is as follows;
Motor: Hacker B50 7XL
Battery: FlightPower 6S 3700 30C [Rated to 111Amp (30C) Cont. 185 Burst (50C)]
ESC: Hacker 195 F5 (FAI)
Prop: 20 x 12 Full Carbon (Vita Prop)
Run times: Typically 1000ft in 16sec
Amps drawn: around 120-125Amps
This is essentially an entry level F5 type setup but de-tuned for longer run times to alt (Heavy glider). I run 6 cells to drop the Amps as 4 cells would be over 200 Amps...which means ESC burn-out.
Yeah, I had to kill 6 batteries in all...don't trust them.
Now using 35C cont and 60C burst batteries (6S 4400s !!!)
My point here though is simply that perhaps these things should be shipped by sea and road, rather than air.
