In my opinion...

A beginner that is hovering and doing mild FF will enjoy the long flight times provided by a larger battery such as a 1320mah 3S (ThunderPower makes great batteries).

For 3Ding go smaller like 900mah 3S. Shorter flight times, but much less weight so you can crank it around.

And people with 700-800mAh lipos get about the same as ones with the higher mAh lipos.(but i could be wrong, i haven't really used a lipo on my blade)

Status: offline 		I have no plans on 3d just want to learn scale flying and longer run time is better right? Anyone run a 1300? I just want to be sure it can handle the extra volts

It can handle 3 cell lipos. But you need to get a 9 tooth pinion motor to keep the head speed down.

A higher capcity pack will make it as stable as the stock nimh, but with more power. The smaller ones make it not as stable, but more manuverable.

I read somewhere someone got 24 minutes with a 710.

But for just hovering and some forward flight 1300 or so is fine.
