It's certainly not the first time someone has done that and won't be the last ! Of course I've never done that ....

BTW, The new Ni-Mhs should be fine. They can certainly pump out the required amps. I switched from Ni-Cads to Li-Pos a while back. The only change that I saw was that I had to decrease the plug power to keep from blowing the glow plugs. I think that the Li-po had higher voltage under load and therefore the plug saw more juice than with the tired Ni-cads that I was using. I'm a little squeamish about charging the Li-po in the plane though. I only use it where I can easily remove the battery for charging.
Has anyone tried the A123 cells for the ECU?
I hope that this helps.
Tailwinds,
