Duralites for your Turbine!
Todd,
It's been a few months since I've spoken to Bob...He was definately against it then. Maybe he was referring to the older Lithium Metal packs instead of the newer Lithium Ion. I'm glad you are researching this for us! Your tests are very promising. My charger is Lithium Ion capable as it is the same one (Schulze) that Nico described and Bob Wilcox sells. I guess all I need to do is to buy the batteries. Really, for me, charging isn't that much of an issue. I'll charge while my buddy flies his jet and vice/versa. For me, the benefit would be reduced weight for better grass field performance. Again, good job with your tests.
