Peter I got a couple questions for you.
1. How are liking the zippy compacts (quality, balance, etc)? at that weight and price I'm really considering getting a couple to try them out.
2. How much does you vanquish weight with the compacts.?

Happy Landings

Hi Guillermo,

1. I like them a lot, about 30 cycles on each one, internal resistance is 1-3mOhms per cell for a total IR of 18-25 even flying in 105 degree temps this weekend they came down at about 115 degrees. No sign of puffing. I wish I could get more, but they've been out of stock since I got my first pair.

2. Well, before repairs to the LG, my over-equipped Vanquish was at 4860g with the power unlimited packs, so on a fresh Vanquish built the way I built mine I would be at 4800-4810. If I were willing to give up my Emcotec arming switch (which I will do if the rules for arming switches are actually passed and become official) I'd be down to 4750 or so.
