I was planning to stay with dual 2500 mah 6v Radical RC packs. Just a little shy to the A123's as of now.

In terms of amp delivery availability, the A123's are WAY more than enough. I am running two on my 35%er. they only weigh 5.5 ounces each and don't require regulators. If you are looking to save weight while not having to worry about votage drop, the killer setup would be two of the A123's plugged directly into a Smart-fly Power expander Pro (no switches), and then use the smart-switch integrated in the power expander. This would make for a 13 ounce power system for your receiver that will flat out-perform li-ions. The only slight downfall is the lower capacity, but a 40%er only burns about 650mah per flight, so you'd be good for 5-6 flights, easy. If you need more, throw a quick charge on them (they can be safely charged at 5C+) and you're good to go.

Ditto. I understand the marketing strategy behind this scheme, and I do like it, but something different would be welcome.

I agree, about a new simpler scheme for this plane. I saw the plane in Tucson, I have flown all of the smaller sizes. If it flies as good as they do, the big one should be a winner. However, I would like it in a different scheme, or all white so I could do my own.

Does any one have an idea when they will be available??? I also saw it at the shootout and it is one huge yak the cowl is gigantic. I want one. It said they will start at 2200 though. I am sure it will drop.

What would be the great advantage of 2300mah A123's over 6v Nimh 2500mah cells? The weight difference is minimal and I already have chargers for these cells, plus they are proven to work. I can still run them through the Power Expander Pro with the same set-up right?

I like everything about this plane except the scheme. The scheme alone would prevent me from buying it. Please give us another option! I love the QB series planes. I've owned 3.

Way less voltage drop under high amp draw.

As power = volts x amps you can see that your servos will get more power.
