[NSRCA-discussion] Zippy 5S pack weight findings

[Vicente Planes]

Hi Jim,

Interesting that you use only 2000 mah.  I use at least 3200 mah.  The average is over 3500 mah.   Probably is just the Kansas winds.

I was getting the newest set ready to use and noticed they seemed heavier than the older packs.  I compared them, and found the new packs to be made up of slightly thicker cells and the wires were heavier gauge. I weighed them all, and these are the results:
