Default RE: reciever/battery quest. voltage???

my statments and observations are based on the need to run many servos. i too can get your aproxx 50 flight time. however this is based of a 40 sized plane with 4 or 5 standard servos. for each drop run a make i will be using 12 servo 6 of which will be high torque. if i were to use all at once the amperage draw would stress the battery. i dont plan to use them all at once but having just enough battery power is not a secnerio i want to test. im trying to find the best choice. at this point i plan to run 2 or 3 5-cell NIMH 2000 mah in parrallel. Since i have alot of li-po 3-cell batterys i wanted to know if there was any way i could parlay them into my needs.

having more ampers to be able to provide jucie for all servos plus looking for a redundant avalibility is my goal. just recently a pro at our local field lost one of his big birds due to battery issues. if it can happen to him it can happen to anyone.
