I agree with you and others on the cost. Personally I still think its too expensive.

Im trying to work out the other members figures. I cant find the thread now but he said he pays $30 a USG for 30% nitro. He goes through 2 USG a week. and spends $1000 a during his flying season. (which works out at 16.5 weeks (4 Months)).
He spent under $500USD on batteries (im guessing only 2 packs then, as theyre about $300USD for a TP 5000Mah pack. So maybe $500 for 2x 4000Mah packs)

Working on your figures of 10 flights a USG, he would do approx 20 flights a week for 16 weeks (say 320 flights).
That would require his packs to last 160 cycles each.
Mine are certainly not lasting that. I think 50 to 100 cycles is more reasonable.
What about the top brand 22.2V 6S lipos, would thay last 150 cycles.

Also 20 flights a week would be 3 flights a day, so you would want 3 packs at least, (unless you wait 2-3 hours for the pack to cool, and be recharged).
Now 3 packs at $300USD each is $900USD and that may only give you 3x 8 minute flights, not 3x 10-15 minute flights.

Im not trying to imply he was wrong, just trying to work out his figures because I cant see how hes better off going E rather than nitro.
