Status: offline 		I just aquired a Midwest Giles 202 off a buddy. There are 7 servos in this plane with only a 4 cell 600mah NICD pack in it. Is this enough battery for this setup.

Thanks,

Mike

NO way, not on a 1.20 powered 10-12 lb aerobatic airplane. As a minimum I would go with dual packs of 700 mAH each, run in parallel with two switch harnesses.
