I use them almost exclusively in my rc sailplanes. They are very easy to charge, unlike NiMh cells.
They also do not self discharge like the NiMh do.
I'm guessing that watts per ounce you don't come close to a LiPo battery, but if you have a plane that either supports the added weight, or you don't care about duration on, then they will be a great choice.
They are much less prone to catching fire. So safety wise, a great choice.
You may not find the variety of sizes in 3S and especially 4S, but you could easily run a pair of 2S packs in series.
