Q-100: Back in March (2004) you mentioned a Sport Aviator review
article (this is the AMA’s new online magazine) of the Hobbico SuperStar EP that
you were going to follow up with an application article describing the new FMA/Kokam
2000 mAh HD Li-Poly batteries.
I have a similar application for those batteries and waited to see your article,
but it never appeared. What is the status of that article?
A-100: The SuperStar EP is a three-channel, tail-dragger-type trainer. Sport
Aviator editor Frank Granelli decided that it would be wise to go to the next
step and move up to an advanced trainer with ailerons, four-channel function
control, a tricycle gear with nose-wheel steering, and a new AXI brushless
outrunner motor. He selected the popular Hobby Lobby Bonnie 20 ARF. You can find
a detailed review at
www.masportaviator.com/ah.asp?CatID=1&ID=39.
The next step in this process was to retrofit the new Kokam 2000 mAh (15C- and
20C-load capable) Li-Poly batteries, from FMA Direct, into the Bonnie 20. You
can find detailed article about the Li-Poly application at
www.masportaviator.com/ah.asp?CatID=2&ID=43. I believe that it will provide you
with all the details you need.
We keep adding more reviews and application articles to this new online-magazine
format. Because it is essentially an electronic media, we are not limited to
pages as we are when paper is involved. The result is more in-depth reporting.
Sport Aviator is available to the general public; no identification numbers or
