[NSRCA-discussion] 6S+4S-Good or Bad?

[Larry Diamond]

Probably not something I would notice in intermediate. However, if running multiple packs for a 10s setup in higher classes, I might recommend pairing the packs for life and tracking the discharge performance. It would be easier to see when a pack starts to fall off. Perhaps many don't track the discharge/charge data that closely.
\
If I decide to run two 5s packs, or a combination of, that is what I will do... I don't fly well at this point, but I can see myself using Pattern Plane packs only for pattern planes and contests... I would have a seperate pool of packs for sport flying...
 
Based on Dave's e-mail below, it may not be a concern.

I have 10S, 8S, and 6S electric pattern style planes. I buy only 5S and 3S packs and can mix and match to fly all of them with the needed combinations. I do buy all the same C ratings and Mah capacity for these packs though. It's been working OK for 2-3 years for me.
