Help!
What size LiPo to use?

I'm planning on using two 2S 2200mAh LiPo's on the airframe spec below.
Do you think this size/capacity of battery would be enough for a regular days flying?

  • Spektrum AR9110 PowerSafe Receiver (Requires 2 battery packs)
  • 5x Savox SC0252 (10.5kg)
  • 26% MXS-R
  • 38cc gas/petrol (using a seperate 3rd battery pack)

My vote is it's overkill - especially going with a seperate (3rd) battery for the ign. module.

I use a single 2300 A123 for everything, and it's easily up for a days worth of flying for me (4-5 flights).
