Default RE: A123 as receiver pack - no fly voltage?

Charles,
Thank you for your reply, that is good news I think it's time to dump the NiMh and move on with technology.
I wouldn't like to abuse of your kindness with somehow silly questions but do you have any estimates (timewise) of for how long can a 2300Mah be used with 5 digital servos, plus a governor (roughly)? I'm not sure if you are familiar with RC helis or just planes.
I understand that I need to think the current draw could be around 3Amps. that would make around 40min. (rough calc.) per pack, would that be the correct way to do this? Or should I estimate more load? I know in an heli the servos are a lot more active than in a plane, but I'm not sure how to calculate the top A draw. Is the specs on the servos info the max draw? Therefore should I add everyone up?
Since you are familiar with electric flight for sure you know better than me.
I'll apreciate any thoughts about this,
Fernando
