Thanks for the info!!! On related note, I was contacted by "Zinc Air" They are producing a new battery with more capacity and lighter weight than the Lithium Ion/polymers and the Zinc Air battery can deliver much higher current, charge faster and isn't explosive. Sounds like an RC dream doesn't it? As usual, they are filling the military pipe line now and they won't be available to the public for a year or so. They contacted me because they wanted to order 4 delta wings to demonstrate the batteries in a small UAV capacity. I wanted them to agree that they wouldn't use or reproduce the airframe for any other purpose besides demonstrating there products, but they weren't willing to do this..... Makes you wonder.....
