Well, I'm still waiting for some decent flying weather and some free time to go and test out my new 3300 NiMh battery. It is a GP one and was rather expensive so I'm hoping it will give the plane enough power to take off from fairly short grass, will definately be annoyed if it doesn't!! So I'm presuming the performance of your Magister didn't really improve with the 3300 pack??
Looks like i'm going to have to upgrade to the Lipo set up. What Jeti Esc are you using Joe? Will have to do the Lipo conversion as cheaply as possible and that kokam 3s battery you're using is very expensive!!
