	Nicads 50 ma 110 ma 225 Sanyo AEs Dumpy £3.15 per cell 250 Sanyo equivilent £3.00 per cell	Lithium/Nicad comparisons A - Sanyo 225 AEs 6 cells = 68 gram B - Sanyo 225 AEs 7 cells = 84 gram C - 800 AR Sanyo Red 6 cells = 96 gram D - 2-800 ma Lithium cells = 53 gram E - 2 - 1350 ma Lithium cells = 78 gram Item A flew "Pico stick" for 14 minutes B flew it for 12 minutes but a bit livelier D flew it for 45 minutes, "power-on-time" about 25 minutes.
	Typical flight sequence :- full power to about 150 ft, then throttle back to 1/2 or 1/3. Pico stick will maintain height on 1/3 throttle or less, throttle off, prop freewheel now cuts in and we have even gained height by using thermals as we did on the 52 minute flight. 1/2 hour flight is comfortably attainable without thermal assistance, our best so far is 45 minutes with power on and prop freewheels on descent. And glide is greatly improved with prop freewheeling.	Lithium 450 ma 2 cell + 2mm connectors £28.00 800 ma 2 cell + 2mm connectors £32.00 1100 ma 2 cell + 2mm connectors £32.00 1350 ma cell + 2mm connectors £34.00 Note : Nicad chargers cannot be used to charge Lithium cells !
Note though that each cell must not be allowed to go below 2.5 volts, full details come with cells. Note that Suitable Bec is in the pipeline and a low battery level indicator for indoor models too. See Pico page	Comparison picture On the left is the 800 Lithium cell, with the 800 Nicad along side it, just to show the size difference between them.	Chargers For Lithium cells cost at the moment £28.50 to £32.oo, to charge 1 or 2 cells automatically no settings or adjustments to make, just connect to 12 volt supply, then to cell or cells, unit selects and bleeps, red LED comes on when charge complete, no trickle charge required, although you can "top up" between flights. But with the flight times we've had why bother, for a normal club flying session, we charge at home and get 6 or 7 --- 6 minute flights.
