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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=yiv1375119750msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=yiv1375119750msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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><o:p></o:p></p>
