I'm using a countdown timer set for 10 minutes and landing with 3.6 - 3.7 / cell. That's with fairly conservative flying (some hovering), and using an APC 13 x 6.5E propeller (as PA states the VOX T40-X is on backorder). I bought two of the PA V2 Lipos @ $48 and 3 of EP Buddy's Glacier Lipos @ $20 and I get about the same flight time from either. I also think the Glaciers come down cooler than the V2s do, however, the V2 are a bit lighter. I was able to achieve recommended CG with battery set a little foward (about 1''), on the battery tray and found PAs recommended CG on the money.
I bought an extra Vox T40 from Heliproz when I placed my order yesterday. I think they still have a few if you need one. I've got a couple of Turnigy 3S 30C's I'm planning on using along with the PA battery that will come with the Pro version. I"ve heard that the plane is a little fragile and I'll need to be carful how I pick it up. Have you had any issues?
