UA 126 Last Night

Just curious: Anyone know what happened with UA 126 IAD-FCO last night? Took off from IAD on-time, never got above 6K alt, did some laps south of IAD (guessing fuel dumping), and landed back at IAD. Looked like there might have been emergency vehicles on standby.

Any ideas? (Sorry if there's a way I can find out other than asking here. Can't seem to find that.)

Powered Glider Idea

This would make for a pretty cool EDF model methinks:

From Twitter/X:

"Today... electric aviation company u/WhisperAero has completed crewed flight testing in Tennessee of its ducted fan engines in a retrofitted Aeriane Swift 3 Glider."

Best Battery for Gliders

Pretty simple question that I'd ask at a local hobby shop... If I had one.

I have a Spektrum AR6610T. What battery should I purchase for use in small chuck and/or DLG gliders?

Thanks in advance!
