I run lipo in all my planes. Is it because they are better, not really. Like every battery system out there, they have their disadvantages but provided you feed them correctly and know what you're doing with them, they should be fine. That's been my experience anyway.
Same here.
I use them in all my glow planes, from a high wing trainer to a 26 year old pattern plane.
All get a Castle BEC/Regulator and the batteries vary with the application from a 2s 750 mah to a 3s 2200 mah.
