[NSRCA-discussion] Battery for 18mz

[Stephen Franc]

A number of manufactures offer LiPo batteries, 3500 - 5000 mAh which appear
to be of a physical size  (the LT2F3500X  is 230 mm x 90 mm x 30mm) or
smaller which should fit within the 18mz transmitter battery compartment.
It should be fairly simple to re-pin the connector, even if that is
necessary to match the transmitters input.  As long as you maintain a
minimum of 3500 mAh you would see the same operating time between charges.
Longer times if greater MAh.  The prices I have seen seem to be quite a bit
cheaper....  guess it cost a lot to print FUTABA on the battery... :-)
