The only time I have lost a plane due to the electronics is when I had regulators. All the other planes ere due to my stupid thumbs. My friends Troy-Built 260 is close to the same weight and a identical setup except he's using Ni-Cads because he needs the tail weight. As far as the ignition battery, I use the same pack in my 29lbs AirWild Edge which is at over half throttle on a 3W106 with no problems. (man that plane is huge! Does anyone want to buy it? It's to big for me!)

Maybe it's just my luck, but I've found that the KISS method works best for me.

BTW, Watching the Yak fly downwind at LOW idle without loseing altitude is hilarious. I like a plane that makes me laugh!!! As far as flatting out, with the Yak I can to this strange double pinwheel into a perfectly flat, flatspin that just has to be seen. I really can't describe it, but it sure is fun! I'm just grinning thinking about flying it!
