Li-Polymer RC Batteries

Imagine flying a 4-Channel Tiger Moth or J3 Piper Cub for over an hour on a single charge. Or imagine an indoor 3-D model that you can hover in a small office for over 15 minutes. With LiPo batteries you no longer have to imagine, as this type of performance is now a reality.

For the first time in its over-30-year existence, an electric powered model was competitive against the most powerful O.S. and Y.S. glow-powered pattern airplanes in an FAI world championship format. At the start of the event, contestants and spectators alike were skeptical, believing that competing with an electric model was more of a publicity stunt than a serious competition attempt. But after the first flight, all skeptics were silenced and by the end of the preliminary rounds, a 4th place position transferring into the finals proved that an electric-powered model had the right stuff to compete against the most powerful glow-powered aircraft, as flown by the best pilots in the world.
