I didn't even know, 10mAh Lipos are available. :O
Waiting eagerly :D

@Dipanjan
Yes, 9mah to 10mAh lipo's are currently available. Though shipping them here is :banghead:

Micronwings, Australia have various types and sizes.

@kiran rc,
Master Kiran (as you should be addressed by oldies like me!)

Got microfilm from Australia?

You mean you didn't make it yourself...

By pouring some dope with a few drops of castor oil added, into a pan of water, judging the thickness by the number of coloured rings, picking it up with a wire frame, then laying it upon your wing?  ;D

@saikat,
Sir, Is this correct or is my memory playing tricks?

I suppose that with time, some techniques (or maybe just memories) will eventually fade away...

@KK Iyer
Sir, I guess making the microfilm at home is hazardous? Am I right?
I am rather concentrating more upon the electronics than the building materials.
I got mine from Korea and not Australia. I just gave one of the sources.
Anyways, the one which can be homemade is very thin, used in f1d rubber powered planes. It's going be around half a micron. It may not hold any good for an electric model.
