<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regenerative braking is the holy grail for hybrid E
vehicles also. While the motor is an effective generator with the controls
available, the issue is the ability of the batteries to accept the
resulting high charge rate. Some systems have been designed using capacitors to
smooth the flow, but large capacity requirements limits practicality. Of
course with LiPo charge rates in the 1 - 3C range, this becomes even more
problematic for our systems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Now if they could make the brake regenerative, they would have
something!</DIV>

<DIV>Jason I hadn't heard about the brake either, any more little things to
made things work better.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Jason,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm venturing, or maybe I should say, wading into
electric this year. You mentioned the brake eating gears. I'm sure you
meant the conventional brake that flat out stops the prop. What's your
thought on the Hacker f3a brake that comes with the competition version of
the speed control? We haven't seen or heard much of anything about this
motor or the controller since the Worlds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
