Hi Chellie
1:30AM, you stay up later than my wife and I! (Wifey stays up to 2 or 3 AM. (Severe back pain issues. Don't ask!)

In this day of ARF's, the actual building of a model has changed. Right now, I'm finishing up converstion of an old 130% scratch built version of the Limbo Dancer model of about 10 years ago.

Previous power was a vastly overloaded geared Astro 05 motor on 10 Nicad cells. I actually cut a dozen 1/16 inch diameter aluminum fins that were pressed over the 05 motor to keep from melting it.

The new power system is a Hacker A40-10L motor with 6S1P A123 cells. Cut over a pound of weight out of it with the new power system.

Now, just waiting for the A123 cells to show up from http://www.voltmanbatteries.com/servlet/StoreFront. These guys are a little more expensive than direct from China, but they are located in Ohio, not half way around the world. Their main business is rebuilding battery packs from just about any battery operated power tool.

Hey, the sun's out! First time in near two weeks around here. Got to go flying.
