Tony,

As all I'm very intrigued by the electric option and eager for it to become a reality for me.

Something you said caught my attention. You have a total of 804 flights between the two Partners. You stated that your 5300 mah packs have a max of 30 cycles and you have a 6000 mah pack with 60 cycles. What is the max number of cycles you have on any one battery? Since you used the 6000 mah pack as an example of a pack that has a lot of flights I'll "jump the gun" and assume that you don't have too many packs with significantly more flights on them (I could be totally wrong so please correct me if so).

Assuming you are putting on an average of 60 flights per battery you must have been through 15 or more flight packs by now. That's around $10,000 in batteries!

Am I completely off base or is the electric option really that expensive?

Thanks,
Keith B
