<DIV>Jason was asked if he had enough power toward the end of his flights,
he said he has more power at the end than in the beginning, attributes it
to warmer batteries. He runs the motor at part throttle as soon as he is
on the clock and lets it run until his caller puts in on the ground, I
assume to get things warm before taking off.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The three electric pattern planes were all running similar motors and
batteries. One thing I found interesting is the planes are not any quieter
than the good gas setups. Quiqui was running a 4 blade prop on his DZ and
it was very quiet. I don't know the diameter or pitch, but he was not
hurting for pulling power. <BR><BR><B><I>Van Putte
