Don't know what the answer to your question is Anthony except I have a piece 
of news I would like to share with all on E-flying.

Last weekend at Ron Ellis' contest in Melbourne, FLA, I saw a trully awsome 
display of 3D style flying with a 12 pound Funtana model.  I'm talking high 
Alpha rolling circles similar to the type Quique has made famous, Walls right 
on the deck, into Hover flight, then Acceleration straight up. This was 
electric flying

The fellow, Gary Wright, had just returned from the TOC where he performed 
demos between rounds. I had a lengthy conversationwith him where he shared 
his statistics: Hacken motor, 20x8 e-apc prop, and 30x3000 ma NiMH Panasonic 
cells (45 volts at full charge) All up, he stated the motor was 23 ozs and 
the battery was 4 lbs. His static thrust was 18 lbs, so small wonder he could 
hover the 12 lb Funtana. The whole power plant, I think he said, would cost 
about 500$ US. 

I want one for a pattern model
