[NSRCA-discussion] Rhino Lipos

[mike mueller]

 The litmus test is yet to be determined. How long will they last under good conditions 80% rule applied. If they last they seem to be the best value along with the TrueRC's offerings. This is just another example of E. having more choices that make it cheaper to do. Who knows where it will be in a few years. My guess is the current equipment will be obsolete. 
 We have a prominent flyer here that is doing some very interesting testing on the Rhino's. I do however agree with Chris that weight could be a problem. I'm building a hefty plane right now that would not make weight with these. Mike

*Tachometer readings were VERY erratic (indoors) – readings are NOT reliable
**No longer available (quality and performance problems)
**Best value (I think)
