RE: Li Po - Just Say No!
I'm not sure if was said here, but....
I've heard the "argument" before that NiCd is "NASA/Aerospace" certified. What you have to realize is the fact that to become certifed, your product must be extensively tested to get the certification. Once you do get that certification, you can't change a thing!!!
Of course, this explains why the space shuttle flies on a 386!!!!! computer! It also explains why NASA still uses NiCd batteries, when they could use NiMh and get double the mAHr out of them (or Li-Ion and get more).
Yes, we "bold experimenters" will carve the trail for the rest of you Luddites, and you will follow in our footsteps at some point.
I just like the fact that my planes have a better P/W ratio, and can stay up much longer than using "tradional" batteries. Yes, there is a new learning curve to these new batteries, but if everyone shunned progress, then no progress would be made........
