Default CAP 232 on li-poly

I am very interested in buying this little devil : cap 232


Problem is that i don't know wether or not this plane can be equipped with lipoly cells. I know li-poly's only handle 3C current draws so you always have to compromise between weight and numbre of cells in parallel.

Actually my question doesn't only concern this little cap but goes for all electric planes : Is there a weight - size - motor combination that just doesn't fly well on lipoly because it needs too much parallel cells thus weighing too much?

for example: smaller foamies with larger wing sections seem too be doing very well on simple speed 300's and li poly's. But once more power is needed because of weight gain from the plane thus needing a stronger possibly brushless engine with larger current draw, could it be that poly's aren't the best choice performance wise ?????



Pfff i hope i made myself clear
