Hey all, I'm brand new to this site, brand new to electrics and returning pattern guy after a 10 year hiatus. I am putting together an Angel 50 and have the recommended motor (A50-16s), but I'm completely bewildered about batteries. The recommended ones (Flight Power EVO 25 3300 or 3700) are VERY expensive, and I have found all kinds of lower cost alternatives, but they are all over the map in mAh, C ratings and weight. I am assuming that weight is paramount in this plane, but I have no idea how long it will fly with these. I would want to get through one complete pattern (advanced), hopefully two.

Suggestions or places I can go for help?

Off line is fine, I don't want to bore all you with this beginner stuff

Great site!
