[NSRCA-discussion] Batteries

[Earl Haury]

George / Verne

I've been using the FlightPower F3A 5350 packs since the Cajun Nats last 
year. They've provided consistent performance at a reasonable weight. I 
prefer them to the 20+C packs which tend to vary more over their lifespan. 
For more detail of my take on pattern battery selection check out my notes @ 
http://www.flightpowerusa.com/index.asp?page=Technical/technicalArticles.asp 
(LiPo Batteries for Pattern - Pack Selection and Installation).
