Nope. When flying electric planes there is only 14 oz in a pound.
For planes this size I usually run a BEC instead of an RX battery. In fact, I ran a BEC in my Wind 110 last year too. You just wire them into the power leads that come into the ESC from the battery. Basically, they are a switching voltage regulator that draws power from your main motor battery to power the radio. Among other things, it saves some weight. The other nice thing is that you don't have to bother seperately charging an RX battery. For 6S packs, look at the
CC BEC that Castle Creations sells. It's designed to work with your controller. You'll get lots of opinions about why you shouldn't use a BEC but I've been using them for years on planes this size and larger and I've never had a problem with it.

I'm pretty sure those are the batteries I'm going to order.
Now on to reciever battery, I noticed in Steve's plane he has a flat lithium type battery (maybe 2.5 inches square) and I searched and see they are 7.4 volts, so I'll need a regulator to take that down to a voltage I can safely plug into my reciever ? and that will operate the servos ?
Steve, my theory is to get all these beginner questions answered here then I won't be such a pain in the butt at the field.
Weight of the Wind 50 is about 80 oz. if there are still 16 oz. in a pound then it will weigh about 5 lbs. so that sounds good.
