I was at a large "E only" event recently and the one common word of advice was, if it works and you are having fun with it don't spend any more money on all the new latest and greatest. Just wait for 6 months to a year, as the market in electrics being consumer driven, the products will improve and the prices will come down.

Just consider NiMH batteries, in a short period of time we have a whole new generation of these cells in the HECALL and KAN"s.

Also, if you consider the charge time of the different batteries we use, Nicads at a C3 charge rate certainly have the advantage in the amount of flying time you get from them during a flying session. I use mine to fill in while I'm waiting for my NiMH's to charge up at C1. But, I understand that all Nicads will be phased out of production because of the problem of disposal.
