Status: offline 		I bought three of the Pica 1/12 scale combat planes 5 or so years ago and have only finished 1 of them with a .25 glow engine, I tried the .15 as recommended but there wasn''''t enough umph at my elevation (4600) to get it off the ground. The .25 provides plenty of power.

I am ready to finish the second one and would like to get some recommendations on what kind of LiPo electric setup I should go for. I have 0 experience in this arena. My LHS recommended the 25 size engine with a 60 amp ESC. I am running 5 servos (two JR 331 and three cirrus CS-30''''s) and the above motor configuration. (would change upon recommendation)

What battery setup should I use? I would like to use LiPo but as I mentioned above I am clueless about LiPo. Do I need the 11.1 V of a three cel? Do I need to use a four cel? Would I be ok with two 7.4 V 4000 mah wired in series?

I would appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Ryan
