Pico Stick battery help
Will an 8.4 V 730 mAh NiMH battery work in a pico stick? The specs for the Pico Stick call for a 500 mAh battery. Will the 730mAh burn up the motor in the Pico Stick, or will it work fine? Thanks for the info.

RE: Pico Stick battery help
Are you talking about the SLOW STICK? The Pico Stick's manual recommends a 110mah battery. I believe you have the SLOW STICK.
Is the fuselage aluminium?

I think that battery will be too big and heavy. If it's the AAA size, it'll weigh too much. You can use a 7c. pack w/ that motor w/ no problem, but with a larger capacity pack, you gotta watch how long you use max. power when the pack is fully charged, or you can overheat the brushes/comm. The plane might fly, but it'll probably over stress the little skewers (spars) and I think the wings will fold.
I've been using a 2/3 AAA 7 cell NiMh pack for years (300mah and 2oz. wt.) on my lite/pico stik and it flys quite well with that one...
Also, after testing a bunch of props, I've found that the 9x7 GWS prop works the best IMO.
