Poland - electric

[Anthony Abdullah]

The video was extremely impressive! I would be very interested in the details of the technology as well as concessions necessary to make it work (battery chemistry, battery weight, building materials, discharge curve, etc. I like the ideas of no clean up, no glow plugs, less support equipment, no fuel storage, no bearings to replace, less noise, less vibration,and complete reliability, but I don't build nearly light enough to make it work. I also prefer the longer flight times and thrust available with wet power, but they seem to have solved those issues. I will be glad when the information becomes available as I am extremely curious.
 
Best of luck to the US team in Poland If Jason doesn't score well it won't be because of a flame out!

Watched the videos. Man they are great. Anyone know what a set-up like the 
one Jason is using costs and where to get the parts. That power without having 
to clean up after each flight and the end of the day.
