Default RE: axe cp thread

Cool, do you know the weight of your 2200 pack? I have been looking at tons of different batteries, and the weights, even with lipos, seems to vary quite a bit. The battery I have been looking at is .9 ounces heavier than stock. Quite a bit when talking about a heli that weighs 16 ounces. Does anyone know how much the training gear weighs? I know it can't be much, but if it's around .5 ounces or so the difference is minor, but if counter weight is needed then it will still be a problem. I just really want a 30 minute flight time. It gives me an opportunity to break more parts, since with helis thats the name of the game. Not really but it seems to be what I really am good at.
Flew an axe EZ today, I felt like a pro just from the 10 charges on the stock battery from the CP. People were saying " you're pretty good!" I was thinking "Yeah, you haven't seen me 'attempt' to fly the CP." Totally different ball game to say the least. It does give the basic control feel though, just hovers and flies SOOO much easier.
I really want a few 2100 mAh batteries, but its starting to look like 4 or 5 1320's are in my future. Why are these helis so d@%n addictive???
This is definitely my 'new' money pit.
