<DIV>Triggered by the tease I wrote on the "Smoking li-Po" I remembered that way
back I photographed Jason's Impact at the beginning of the National's. The
FAI where he won.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In his plane I saw a small (900 mAh) Li-Poly that he was using to work the
radio. I am/was not sure if the electric community were still doing this, or if
they had passed on the tip.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know that a separate battery has saved quite a few electric
pattern panes already. You tend not to hear about the catastrophic motor/Li-Po
failures from the sponsored guys. So for what it's worth here it is.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, I am running one of these 2-cell 7.4V packs in a six digital servo
Great Planes 79" CAP 232. Still measuring the consumption. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The pack weighs 1.33 oz BTW</DIV>
