Default RE: First plane

Looks fantastic! I think I'll get that one.


However, it comes with one battery. I have found a company that sells 14 1300mah, MiMH AA pencells for £15.50. Would AA cells be too heavy for this plane?

Alternativly, the same company sells 14 700mah NiCd AA pencells for £5.30. Are nicads cheaper? I know Li-poly are the best, but at the moment, I don't want to spend that much. I may go li-poly later.

In both cases, I would make 2 packs of 7 cells. (But apparently the plane is slightly underpowered. Would 8 cells be too heavy?
