Default E-Flite Electrajet

Thanks guess I need some battery 101 do 1800's weigh more then 600's? My thought was AA compared to say AAA would be were the weight is different from a few photos I have seen with the electrajet battery compartment open it's looks like it basically has a TX pack from a radio which I know is AA's but that's from a photo and I got to thinking well maybe it's AAA's just looks the same in the photo.

I live out in the semi-country we all have 5 acres lots here but mine has a lot of tree coverage and I only have two good openings that are about 100 feet square that that is tree free to small area for my glows but I was thinking an electric with a good climb rate and slow landing speed would be the perfect. Most of the post’s I have read on the electrajet seem to be really happy with it, hope I didn't waste my money on another crappy electric!

BTW I still have a slow stick it's the GWS one and it is the biggest piece of junk, in fact turned me off the electric idea for awhile, talk about cheap the wings are made of thin foam and I mean thin with wood sticks glued to the ends to hold them on. The setup is two hs55 and a great planes ESC and a hitec 555 rec. The maiden flight was I charged the batteries and gave it toss went about 20 feet turned into the ground and broke the plastic gear box has been hanging on wall ever since.
