There are many peole that use small packs and feild charge between flights.
Back in my fun fly days I used a tiny 280 mah NICAD pack and the was running 5 high power normal sized servos and the working far more than those on a pattern plane.
5 min non stop extreme flying could be had easliy. The control (servo response) would dramatically slow down as the pack neared emtpt after that... but you still had 45sec of gently flying to land before cut out.
Only in a fun fly eh?

If you don't want or need the extra 2 oz. then use the 1000Mh pack you'll still get 6 or 8 flights on regular servos. Just remember to always check V before every flight, including the first. If you have some lead on your plane, use the 2600 and you can get rid of some of it, if you gotta add weight make it useful if you can. IMHO

Status: offline 		Lately, I've been using the Hobbico 2000 mah Hydrimax 4 cell packs. These are high discharge capable batteries...that can take the instantaneous high current of some of the digital servos. These packs weigh little if any more than previous 1100 mah packs. I can fly, fly, fly without any field recharging. I can fly all weekend at a contest on one charge.

Just a thought. I'm sure that others have their own preferences.
