Default RE: NiCad or NiMH replacement for LiPo???

ORIGINAL: PilotSmith

I'm toying with going with something other than LiPo (due to costs) if my airframe can handle the extra weight. Here is what I would like to have. I want the lightest possible NiCad or NiMH battery pack that will supply me with 24 amps continuos for 4 to 5 minutes. I need enought cells to replace my 4 cell LiPo (14.8v) pack so I'm guessing I need to use 12 cells. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On second though I think I'm asking for too much. 3 to 4 minutes would also be okay.
A 12 cell 1800 mAh Ni Cd Cs pack should give you close to 4 minutes.
