As we say in Germany: Die spinnen, die Chinesen! This way any model is an UAV - I wonder if Graupner or Multiplex know that? W.

Hi 300 times more powerful than LiPo batteries?? I think you got the decimal point in the wrong position; 300% equals 3 times, which is quite an achievement. Wonder how long we still have to wait for the cells? W.
