Fair play, but why bother?

it’s a little like perfecting chocolate teapots and fireguards when you could just put a normal engine on it and more than quadruple your duration and power for the same weight.

There are benefits to electric motors, smoother delivery, more torque, higher rpm, less moving parts etc.

The batteries are the only downside in todays current technological climate, this is what's holding back a lot of tech from hitting mainstream.

My little electric Walkera 4-3Q remote heli flies pretty well, if only for a limited flight time. :(

That should definitely be in TakOH. I'd love to do that for real.
