[NSRCA-discussion] Brio 10 Set up

[Adam Glatt]

Ed, a 3s1320 pack in a 28oz plane is going to yield short flight times, 
poor vertical performance, and short battery life.  I'm going with a 
4s2100 in my (predicted) 32oz Stevens Aeromodel Edge, and I've heard one 
person say he tried a 3s2p4200 pack and liked everything about it more 
than smaller packs in that plane.
