yeah, no prob. It will extend the life of the motor by making it run less hot, and it will also be easier on your battery and make flight times 15-20% longer =) I noticed about a 2 min increase from 10 min (so 12 total) with the stock battery, and about 3 min increase with my 1250mAh pack from 15 to 18 min.

I used to live not too far from you in Encinitas =P
