There are more questions than answers but the Zepher looks like a large model airplane to me.  It would be interesting to se a line up of the products and what they cost.

From what I gather, these things are still a couple of years away, but the promise is of more than a two-fold improvement in weight ... eventually!
We'll just have to be patient, but they are on the radar now.

Hi Dean
Can you imagine what this battery would do to our hobby if we are ever able to get our hands on them.  Not just for us, but for the entire model airplane hobby it would just about spell  the end of IC power except for old time and classic.  Sure hope it comes to be.
