[NSRCA-discussion] Batteries again

[Ron Van Putte]

I am flying the 15C Zippy FlightMax 4400s and am amazed with their  
performance.  My "figure of merit" is how well the airplane does in  
the next to last maneuver in the Master class schedule, the 1/2  
square loop w/ two 1/2 rolls up.  The airplane has more "authority"  
here than with any other pack I've flown.  They are light and  
inexpensive.
