I am flying OPA's at the moment ( other peoples aeroplanes ) and have
a portable setup with Colibri logger and Ipaq PDA all driven from a
LiPo Electric R/C aircraft flight pack. A12v pack with 2200ma/hr
capacity. The power to volume/weight ratio is great. The pack weighs
about 100g and is about the size of 6 cigarettes! It drives the setup
for about 6 hours with the pda on all the time.

I would never fly with LiPo on board. Let alone in someone elses ship.
I have quite a few of them for my R/C aircraft and have seen them at
their worst. Please be careful.


You don't fly with a cell phone or a PDA?
