Ryan, I don't expect to put 5 flights a day on that plane so if can get 2 flights on a charge and have some reserve, I should be fine, if I find out that more is needed, I will do something as I already ordered 4 of those batteries or maybe I can swap batteries after few flights or custom order larger batteries, this is a start for now but you brought a good point.

Personally I'd use an expander on a beast like this but that is just me.


Wish I lived alot closer so I could take a turn riding in that plane......its huge.
Sam, it's not only the number of servos, these large airplanes are hard on the servos and require more juice.
I am using the power box royal with 2 receivers.
