Aero Ace Lipo Upgrade
I know I read about this months ago but I forgot the discussion and can't find it in the huge thread now.
What is the stock mah of the lipo in an Aero Ace? (130?) Stock weight of lipo?
Can you upgrade to a 240mah lipo? Will the charger in the plane/tx give the larger battery a full charge? Will the plane get more power?
I was going to order a 240mah lipo from hobbyking to throw into the Jet. I bet I could just remove the weight in front after the swap and the cg would work out.
Can this one be used? How do I connect the new batt? Is soldering out of the question? I have a 25W iron and very thin solder if that is all it takes.

Nikg, yes the plane will take that battery I think. I have only run them up to 200, but the RF has a 300 mah in it. As for charging with the standard charger, yes it should but it will take longer.

I put a 250mah in my AA PowerHawk it worked. A little faster and
a longer flight time. I've only flew a few times though for about
20 minutes total so I can't tell you the long term effects.
Reminds me of the movie Blade Runner where he says a candle
that burns twice as bright only burns half as long.

RE: Aero Ace Lipo Upgrade
Where can I get a 200 or 250 or other comparably sized lipo for relatively cheap? The site I linked to is currently out of the 240's. They are cheap enough, but they need to be shipped from halfway around the world.
