Hello, I know there is information out there in the forums on A123 packs and smart fly PE, but I still have a few queries.

I am currently flying a 2.6m comp-arf 300sx with a powerbox and two li-ion 4300mAh duralites. Total weight is 5oz + 7.2oz + 7.2oz = 19.4oz. I am running 3x JR8711 and 2x JR8611 and a Futaba R808 rx.

I thought about a smart fly Power Expander "Sport" or "Pro" with two 2cell A123 packs. what are the pros and cons of the PE "Sport" over the "Pro"?

Is it essential for the two batteries to be the same capacity when using the PE Pro? I was thinking of either two 1100's or maybe one 1100 and one 2300mAh pack, to save weight.

what is the maximum charge rate through the PE Pro?
how are the charge plugs connected to the PE Pro? directly to the battery, I would like to charge two batteries at once.

Anthony.
