Yes - that 6 cell will be heavy. Better to go 4 cell as recommended, 5 cell maximum if you insist.

I also use 6 cell Lipo's in my SIG King Kobra's and they fly well but when building them I always have to be cautious about being overweight. I find myself trying to shave weight off the plane just so I can have my big ***** 6 cell Lipo. Maybe better to shave weight AND use a 5 cell instead of 6 cell.
