Mine got here last week and I hadn't <BR>> even opened the packages yet because I'm in the middle of painting my <BR>> Integral. Anyway, I opened a brand new matched set of FlightPower 5350 F3A's <BR>> and weighed them as shipped with no connectors, velcro, or any other <BR>> additions. One pack weighed 570g and the other was 572g on my digital scale. <BR>> The manufacturer specs them as 575g each. Close enough for me.<BR>> <BR>> Verne<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Earl Haury" <ejhaury@comcast.net><BR>> To: "NSRCA Mailing List" <nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org><BR>> Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 10:15 PM<BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Batteries<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > George / Verne<BR>> ><BR>> > I've been using the FlightPower F3A 5350 packs since the Cajun Nats last<BR>> > year.
