Just curious if any company or anyone is using ultracapacitors
(sometimes called supercapacitors) for RC aircraft.
I searched around and couldn't find anything.
A 350-farad (not a typo) ultracap is light and small. I don't think
they have quite the capacity of rechargeable batteries yet, but they
charge in seconds and weight almost nothing. 30 bucks or so each. I
figure something like this would be very useful for RC airplanes.
350 F cap - 2 ounces:
