You are welcome Volkert. On your question, I don't know. There were several staff guys checking everybody's connections and batteries before the tournoi began so the information exists, of that I am certain

But, I don't think current set-ups (size/weight) can generate enough power on 8S to fly the schedules, and still maintain reasonable current draw. A smaller, lighter plane could use 8S but it would likely be at a disadvantage from the start. To me, 12S at lower amp capacity makes better sense but it might come at a weight disadvantage. Of course, 12S is illegal in F3A right now. However, I wouldn't be surprised at all if FAI increased voltage limits for F3A at some point in the future. The precedent exists already, but boy what a can of worms that would open!!
