Default Flight pack advice

I want to get a 6 volt NIMH for my CMP 120 Corsair. Has all digital servos. Magneto zenoah engine so no power going to the engine. Eventually going to 123s, but not yet.

How many ma do I need, And do I need C cell size or AA type?

Plane has flaps (2 servo setup) and servo less electric retracts.

7 digital, metal gear servos in total. They have good torque.

Thanks

For 6v you need 5 NiMh cells. You can get AA cells with over 2000 mah capacity and that should work fine.

Ok, that's great, the aa packs are inexpensive. I have 4.8 packs that are 2500, but I'm scared to use the lower voltage on the digital servo setups. I has a large p-40 go down, I think it was a brown out due to voltage drop and the 2.4. but ill never know for sure.
thanks

If you are using Spetrum 2.4 you should Never use a 4.8v pack.

Like i said, just go A123, theres no reason not to.
