My first thought agrees with Malcolm. How can you make weight with two extra cells. The evo batteries are a more robust cell to start with over TP 5300 packs and would weigh about 4 oz more in the 10S configuration.
Good luck,

Stuart and Malcolm,
I guess I should have qualified this one point, I do not intend to compete so the 11 lb weight limit isn't an issue for me (by the time I get good enough to complete I imagine this plane will be nothing but a fond memory). I did run the numbers through MotoCalc using "real" weights (verified with a scale) and my setup should come out around 10.475 lbs plus the motor mount, aeropoxy, tailwheel and flightpack. I imagine the finished weight someplace near 11.25?
