What makes you think the "lithium ion" cells used in PDAs, laptops, and
cellphones are any different than the "lithium polymer" cells used in R/C
aircraft? Have you ever looked at the cells inside a PDA, or inside the
plastic cases used for cellphone or laptop batteries? Nearly all are
lithium polymer these days (and the R/C suppliers get theirs from the same
factories, which is why they are relatively cheap), although the laptop
manufacturers, thanks to some rather public incidents, are just starting
to switch over to newer, somewhat less flammable, battery chemistries...

can take any branch and drop into the lobby. It's about a 20-plus foot drop
so. I'll probably break my leg - maybe both, but that's okay. This is good.
This is a good plane. Somebody uh, give me a screwdriver. "--Mike Cannon:
