Hey folks.... Im looking at spending a bit of money on my C50e !

It goes well but it flies just like a normal plane having to carry the weight of the battery (about 1kg !). When you have flown the IC one and know what it can do then flying the elec one with this set up is not so appealing - its about a pound heavier.

So... Im looking at following the Boy and going Li Poly. Not cheap but at least I will get some more service out the model...

Any Li Poly experts out there got any suggestions ?

So far it looks like a choice between 50 x 340s - 5S10P which is the pricey option at about $592 or 12 x 1500s 6S2P for $167, slightly less capacity but and extra volt. Each of these choices gives a weight of approx 15-16oz. which is the max weight I want to have for the pack... that should take about 16-18 oz OFF the weight of the flight ready model which will put it right into the same zone as my YS powered one.
