just tested my new (8 cell) HeCells 1000mAh in my Cap powered with a Mega 15/16/7 motor turning
8.5x5 Aronut prop. It was amazing. The performance was better then ever with NiCds and on the second
flight I clocked 14 minutes of full acrobatics. Only one drawback so far the NiHh do not like to give up
power when they are cold. Flying in -15C it took 3 minutes to warm them up before they came on full.
Next time I will not let them chill before flying. I would strongly recommend this upgrade. I got my from
Sheldon Hobbies. The 8 cell pack weighs in at 5.75 oz only .5 oz more but the performance makes up for
it. I also tried the same with a 10x4.7 prop and got prop hanging performance with better then 1:1 thrust
ratio.

Parker flying his VTOL aircraft at the EMFSO February Indoor Flying Night.
This machine was reminiscent of the tail sitters of the 50's and, although
very difficult, it is possible to bring it in for a tail sitting landing. Parker
demonstrated this at the Indoor Night.
