Status: online 		As I'm just about to spend some $ on a couple of new LiPo's for my Belt CP I thought I'd check out with you guys on your thoughts of a good buy. As of today I have one working 1800mah and one nuked 2100mah Esky packs. Any experience from you with regards to the quality and performance of the Eskys ? They seem rather affordable.

Aside from the slightly heavier 2100mah's, is longer flight time the main benefit from a 2100 one instead of a 1800 one ? My 2100 one got nuked pretty quickly so I never really got the time to compare them...

Status: online 		What flight time do you get from your 2100 mah ones as compared to the 1800mah. On my 1800 mah Esky LiPo I get aroung 9 minutes of 'easy flying' and hovering. How does that compare to a 2100 mah ?
