Bob,

Dual 350mah packs will last you 10-15 flights with no problems. I know they look small, but they do work....

Arch,

They just look so... incredibly tiny! I'll try them later, but for the first few flights I'll go with these.ng

I might have a bit of a problem with the CG. The first photo below shows where I tentatively marked the CG with some striping tape. The second shows how far back the batteries must be placed to achieve that CG (with the canopy on).

Seems pretty far back, doesn't it?? But that's where it balances. Did you ever see batteries that far back?

I looked at some photos of the Wind S Pro and this model appears to be very similar. Do you know where the CG is on that one?
