Default RE: New Batteries?

Hi Malcolm

That is similar to the 5300's, whatever gain in efficiency you get from more voltage I just abuse because of the huge power

Weather, typical Canadian fall :-) Mid teens (centigrade), and fairly calm. You do draw a little less when it is warmer out. Flight time around 8:15-8:30 from takeoff to landing, 170m, so basically flying about the pace of a glow model.

Resting voltage of the packs was 36.8 ish after every flight, so I would say that this is a good max amount of discharge. However the originals did not like being treated in this way over time (that was probably mostly related to imbalance) so I need to fly these a lot more to see how they hold up to it.

I will use 5300's for P at the Worlds....I have been known to pull 4800-4900 from a pack during that sequence I may use these packs for the semi's though. The noise test can pull 200 mAh from a pack as well, so its something that has to be considered at larger events.

They should have plenty of capacity for all the 09-11 sequences.
