LiPo Battery
I posted this under electric general disscusion but thought I might get additional responses in this forum.
I have an Axe Cp, which I really enjoy flying and I also have the 11.1 volt, 950 m/a LiPo battery that provides me with about 15-20 minutes of flying time. Can anyone tell me if I can use a larger amperage 11.1 volt battery? Something on the order of a 1200 m/a LiPo would be great. Also, would that require a different proportional charger than the one I'm using for the 950 m/a?
Cheers!

RE: LiPo Battery
I use a 1250 mah lipo with mine. The only limitation on the battery is that it fits the available space and does not affect the balance of the bird. The 1250 is about the largest capacity in the size that fits the bird. I still only get about 10-15 minutes of fly time.

RE: LiPo Battery
I have a Thunder Power 1320 mAH that I fly 10-12 minutes on. If you're flying 15-20 minutes with a 950, you may be over-discharging them. You need to be careful with LiPos.
