--></style><div><div><div>Mike Harrison asked a question about LIFE batteries that I don’t know the answer to but I am sure there are experts out there that do. Mike has switched to 1750 LIFE batteries in his YS powered airplane. So how many mah average would one expect to use per flight? What does the discharge curve look like and what is the cut off voltage below which you quit flying???</div><div> </div><div>I run LIFEs in my electric and I consume about 60-70 mils per flight average but do not have a clue as to a 4 stroke powered plane. </div><div> </div><div>Thanks </div><div> </div><div><span style='font-family: "Script MT Bold"; font-size: 16pt;'>John D.
