Default RE: Gyrotor indoor/outdoor Heli

Hi all. My Gyrotor is still flying great with the mods, I have made numerous new tail-wing designs but haven't fitted any of them yet because the original hasn't broken! The fuselage has needed repair, the rotors have been re-fitted three times but the little laminated wing still holds firm.

I'm eagerly anticipating the battery upgrade/mod. I was intending on using Fullriver model 652026H10C which is a 200mah/90mOhms battery 4.9g, the stock batteries are 130mah/95mOhms 3.6g. I found a battery from IBTwhich is 230mah and only 4.8g! The IBT battery would give 77% more capacity as opposed to the fullriver 200mah's 54%. I have flight tested with the extra battery weight added in the correct place and it works really well, infact the heli is more stable and responsive.

Can anyone see a problem with the impedance being 5mOhms less on the 200mah battery? I can't see one myself, infact I would have thought that the battery shouldn't get as hot with less internel impedance.
