Ok I'll trust you.

But I have been hearing this for the last year. Oh the new batts are the thing. Every time the new cells come out the gen 2's the gen 2 lites, the gen 3's what ever the names for them are...blue stripe, yellow stripe, brown stripe...The word is They are the solution. But yet they have not proven out.

We are on how many generations of THP batts now. Gen 1, gen2, gen 2.5, gen 2lite, gen 2 pro lite an All this in about 18 months of running them. Each time the batts change we go obsolete on the previous stuff. How much demand is there for the original 5s4p 8000mah packs that Tony F started flying on?

You say that you are at 60 flights now and no problems. Good! I'm glad to hear it. But you still haven't got 1/2 way to a break-even point yet.

Anybody can order a full drum of 25% nitro for a YS motor for about $700 delivered. Using it I have a 20oz tank. 7 flights per gallon for 54 gallons. You need 350-400 flights to break even on fuel. This is all without a 1 hr break in between flights. Oh you guys are running 3-5+ or more packs. I saw in another post Tony F has 6 sets of packs. This alone is $3600 in batteries. Disregarding chargers and generators to run them. Let's stick that under the repair cost for my YS motor. Oh by the way. I think the YS or OS is much cheaper to repair over several years than the multiple chargers needed at $120-300 each and the $500 generator.

When we see the results we will believe it.
