Any thoughts on battery size? I will be using LIFEs.

I was planning on using two by 2300 but that may be overkill.

I have three 30cc planes and all have a single A123 6.6 volt of 2300 mah and an Ibec Unit. After 6 flights I generally have to put 800 to 1000 mah back in the battery. Since the charger is less than 100% efficient the actual usage in less. My rule of thumb is to use no more than half the battery's capacity before charging. One 2300 is fine in a 30cc plane.
