Gotcha.. That makes sense..

If you add up the cost of a 'standard' 2m airplane, and then add the fuel to feed it for a year.. the cost difference just isn't that much. What DOES scare people is the initial investment since you can't buy a 'gallon' of electricity

With the 8000mah packs we're going to be pulling an average current of around 4 to 6C and a max pull of 8C in short bursts. If we have to run the 6000mah then longevity may become an issue as we'll be pushing them harder. I don't think we'll have any problems getting 500 flights or more out of the 8000mah packs.
