Megafly,

Just throwing my 2 cents in. On a freshly charged 2S Lipo pack, your K-80 will start fine. When the pack drops to 8V, you will not get the perfect starts and more than likely a no start. If you stay with your 2s Lipo pack, ''CHECK THE VOLTAGE'' if you have a no start. Don't mess with the settings, as you now know what settings work best on your turbine. I would take Barrys advise and go with a 3S LIFE or a 7C nimh pack as they tend to last longer through out the day of flying. As for you guys running the Kingtech propane start E model turbine, the 2S Lipo works fine.

Good Flying,

This is a fact. I have a propane start on a 2s 5000 mah pack, and I can tell you she is good for 3 starts, after that if she drops voltage or a cell is slightly out of balanced, she will not start. You better have a good charger and balancer!
