Default RE: EVF (Electric VioFan) Thrust?

Summer and LiPos don't go together all that well especially in Las Vegas 120degrees in the shade although the weather man will say it's only 110 too keep you tourist types donating to the las Vegas economy. I have been to the Thunder Power battery factory here in Las Vegas and packs for High powered EDF jets is still in progressive development no matter who brings out what electric jet. I was told by the owner of Thunder Power Charlie Wang that some new cells more suitable for electric high powered jets should be here in the next few months. This technology is like the computers where every few months new and better units/cells become available. I have been working with Crosswind Composites the developer of the R.O.G. electric F-16 and most of our battles have been trying to lower pack temperatures during and after the flights, we have gone through several expensive packs trying to solve the battery over heat issue and for the most part thermal shut downs and other issues have been solved. hopefully these next generation cells will be more efficient and run a few degrees cooler...
