Tally-Ho Chaps!
Just discovered a new PZ Mk IX Spitfire adventure that just might turn out to be a lot of fun. The idea started with the discovery of how I intend to enjoy the FlyZone FW-190 (report on this forum). It turns out that the PZ Messerschmitt three bladed prop pulls "only" a few more Amps than the high performance 12X8 APC E prop that will always be kept readily available in case of being needed for flight under marginal flying conditions. The scale looking three bladed prop really looks great on my Spit and enjoys a better than one to one thrust to weight ratio at around 35 Amps. A simple adjustable 19 gage wire throttle limit system is used to "adjust" maximum burst current by preventing the throttle stick from moving beyond a predetermined limit. The "fun" part will be the challenge of staying inside a safe power perfomance envelope while performing exciting combat and other fun aerobatics maneuvering.
I have a hunch that the most modern PZ fighter motors can handle the extra performance I crave. We shall see. In the meantime, reporting on the "Blaze" TV channel and in Peter Lindemann's News Letter (easily Googled) indicate that new energy technology is about to "break out." This could mean that super performance batteries for our "aeroplanes" could be a much closer reality than we think!
Breaking off the attack for now.
Out.

The following URL brings up the most concise, non-technical (with technical references) discussion about the revolutionary THORIUM PLASMA BATTERY technology I have found on the web. ENJOY! Oh what fun we are going to have in the future of flight!
