Default Battery question

Another pesty newbie here. I'm mostly into glows, but built a light electric aerial photo plane. I'm using a BP A2814-6 brushless motor and a BP 40A brushlees ESC. Plane's weight is 36oz. less battery and looking for a total weight of 50 oz.. Hate to buy a LiPo battery and new charger for this one plane. Can I use Nicd batteries in this plane. Thinking something like a 8-10 cell pack. I know they will be heavier, but as far as performance and flight time I have no idea. Anyone have thoughts on doing this or suggestions as to the route I should go. Thanks for your help...Dick
