stevegauth30, I read a lot about batteries and went with the Life also. When I had the plane finished, I set it up in my living room and went thru the motions of flying for an hour. Just checking things and the battery power. I do like the battery.

Just an an update on the plane. I made good progress on the fuselage. I just have to install the engine and tank and do the throttle setup. It was a good RC work day. I still need to see about the wing, reuse or build new. I should be flying soon. Or at least make another attempt.
