Batteries<BR>> <BR>> Hi Earl,<BR>> George's post got me thinking
about a discussion regarding the actual weight <BR>> of the FlightPower
5350's awhile back. 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
