[NSRCA-discussion] Flight Power EVO Lite

[Derek Koopowitz]

There is more to the packs than just the weight.  I'm surprised that Tower
advertises them at 500g each since the K-Factor ad states 575g each.  My
combined weight including connectors is 1190g.  I think you'll find that
you'll get more usage out of the packs and they'll be stronger than your TP
packs for a longer period.

Just received two Flight Power 5S 5350 EVO Lite packs based upon a Tower
Hobbies advertised weight of 500 grams (17.6 oz) each.  On my digital scale,
the two EVO Lite 5S packs, without connectors, weigh 41.7 ounces compared to
my Thunderpower 5300 packs (with Dean's Ultra connectors and 1/4" balsa
strips glued between them for air flow) which weigh 39.8 oz.  If you're
flying electric, and are looking for weight savings to make competition
weight, EVO Lite packs are not the answer.
