Default RE: battery size??


ORIGINAL: vatechguy3

wow those are small batts!!

what i see in my imac setups, is all the batteries draw down together when the regulators are matched properly.

so for 8 flights i need to look at 750mah packs?

Tony,

Is your plane glow or electric? The electric planes draw very little from the receiver batteries, around 50 mah per flight while the YS powered planes draw about 150 mah per flight. The IC engines transfer a lot of vibration to the airframe and the servos draw more power to keep the control surfaces centered. So, if you're flying electric, you can use smaller rx batteries than if you're flying a YS.
