Hey John I am waiting for the super Xtra I ordered and was working out details of building it in my own mind before it arrives, my question is what size battery (in mah size) do you reccomend for the superXtra, the mtor specs call for a 1200 to 2100 mah 3s lipo. I have a set of micro digital servos I plan on using and would like the most battery life without making it fly like a tank. Your recomendation would be appreciated.
Thanks again en1...

If it matters I ordered the Hacker A20-20L also with a 20 amp speed control....

with that power setup Ive used 1200mah (throttle sparingly), but recommend 1600mah or so, 2100 is in my opinion too big. Ive gotten 12+minute flights out of a 1200mah, only time you need full throttle is a vertical upline, all 3D is done from 1/4 to 1/2 anyway.

Have you flown it with the 2100 ? Is it too heavy I am thinking...

I never did, just for that reason, wanted to keep it light, but keep in mind this is a 45" wingspan plane, its big and can handle some weight if it needs to.
