<P class=yiv1375119750MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">I’ve been running both and would encourage you to get the 20C, or even the 25C if you can handle the weight.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=yiv1375119750MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">15C – typically run between 1180-1205gms for a pair (with connector and Velcro, etc). Power is good, but NOT if they’re cold, or even cool. I have 50 flights on 4 different sets and I would argue that most are on their last legs. They still fly the P schedule fairly strong, but F is a stretch, and they are getting hot and puffy now.</SPAN></DIV>
<P class=yiv1375119750MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'"> </SPAN></DIV>
<P class=yiv1375119750MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">20C – I have 2 sets and 1 is 1210gms and the other is 1245. BIG variance. But they seem to handle the load better. One is still getting hot/puffy though with only 30+ flights on it. THIS btw, is the main issue I think with the zippy packs. Inconsistency. Some are great, some are fair, some suck. You get a little of what you pay for. I’d say there’s about an 85% hit ratio with the flightmax packs, meaning that you should expect about 1 in 5 to be pretty poor. Still a good value though.</SPAN></DIV>

<P class=yiv1375119750MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'">25C – these are heavy…about 1300gms per set, but they’ve been running very strong, very cool, and staying rock solid (no puffiness yet) with about 30+ flights on 3 sets. They still have the issue of not delivering great power when they’re cool. At the nats we noticed that the Zippy’s seem to be more temperature sensitive than the TP batteries. The TP were down a little when they were cold, but the zippy’s were down a LOT. When they were warm, they held their own with the TP batteries. Not sure what the reason for the variance is though.</SPAN></DIV>
