Re: Lithium Polymer cells. Whats the big deal?

I think that Li Po technology is the future...or part of it. Electric power is something I am only just starting to understand......I want to get into electric helis and I am deeply interested in Li Po stuff.

Question is, is Nimh slightly below in terms of performance compared to Li Po?
I realise that weight is an important factor.....given quite a few grams of nitro fuel...I can get 18 minutes or so out of my 30 size Hawk.
A couple of minutes or shutting down and refueling and I am flying again.....I realise that batterys can be recharged etc...but isnt Li Po expensive?...I would surely need several packs in order to get some decent flying sessions.

What sort of lifespan could I expect from a typical Li Po set?
