Hey Keith!
Check your servos' specs. If they can all handle 6 volts then go for it!

Re: will this setup be safe
Should be ok! I would just check the voltage to make sure it does not drop below what the battery is rated for. You will get faster servo speed at the sacrifce of battery life. However the smaller servos will not place as much of a demand as the larger ones.

Re: will this setup be safe
nice thsoe 100s are big floaters! the light wieght of the lipo will be handy as long as you dont need to add weigh to cg,, if i remember right there isnt much room in this fuse haha, get some pics! do you have winch or hi start?? and remember altitude = speed , speed = flying, loose alt and speed = brick plane haha have fun!!!

Re: will this setup be safe
cool, it wil be much better once you have a lil wind and a good hot day to thermal. just remeber let it fly itself most the time, no need to over correct sudden moves.. and what looks like turbulence is usually a thermal

Re: will this setup be safe
sounds good but if you catch a thermal and sky it out, you are going to test the range of that radio thats for shure. they say its good to go but, i will wait a year or so before i switch on my sailplanes. or any plane for that matter. just me thought
