I plan on chrome monokote with some red trim to help with orientation. As for the battery, its an electrifly 3200mAh. It fits in the plane, but weighs in at 9oz. Calculations say it'll give me 7min at wot. But I think I will go with a smaller battery. A 2200mAh will save me about 3oz, but drop the flite time to 5min at wot. I think the trade off may be worth it?
