You wont be able to get through it more than once though. Thats just part of flying electric. 30c is more than enough. 20-25 will work also. Should use around 2500-3000mah per flight so you could get away with 4400mah packs or so. </div><div><br></div><div>Arch</div><div><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Dec 7, 2012, at 1:37 PM, Larry Diamond <<a href="mailto:ldiamond@diamondrc.com">ldiamond@diamondrc.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div style="RIGHT: auto">OK, play nice...
