Good morning, Bob.



I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the use of lithium batteries in OBAM aircraft. (http://www.lithiumaviationbattery.com/)



(We're starting to see a lot of certification efforts for them around Wichita, Albuquerque, Savannah, other places on the east coast...)

    I've not had any conversation with the lithium battery

    program manager at HBC in a couple of years. I'll

    drop him a note and see if there's anything close to

    getting onto a type certificate.



    This is one area where the OBAM aircraft owner

    is justified in a wait-and-see response. It

    isn't like you can't go flying without a lithium

    battery. The ARE more expensive. They have fragilities

    and performance issues that may make their price

    difference still more unattractive. It would be

    useful to have some first-hand feedback from users.

    

    While the weight savings is compelling, they are

    not a drop-in replacement for RG in every respect.

    But if you're willing to be one of those users

    eager to share you own first-hand experiences,

    go for it.
