Are there plans for a review of the new Air Thunder lipo batteries?
So far they have favorable comments from the guys who use them, but it would be good to have a Finless review of the product also.
thanks Mike .

I wouldn't hold your breath on seeing a review from Bob. One because he has been very happy with them and is also sponsered by them. Note that he has and would be running them regardless of sponsorship. Two is that he has a local flying buddy that has been trying the Air Thunder batteries and the feedback has been that they don't provide the same pop that the FP's have.

Having said this you must also understand that many have been having good luck with these batteries and the mfg's claims as well and may not be concerned with absolute max output the whole time. It depends on how you fly and what your priorities are. The other thing to keep in mind as well is that these batteries are relatively new and most don't have more than 50 cycles on them yet. Time will really tell the story for better or worse.
