Default Model Tech Magic E

I'm ready to try LiPoly power on my MagicE. Currently, it uses a 12 cell pack of 3000 mah NiMh cells. What do I need to buy to convert it to LiPoly? My math shows that at 1.25 volts/cell, the NiMh cells are providing 15 volts. At 3.7 volts/cell on the LiPoly that would be about 4 cells. I get an average of 10 minutes/flight, so that's about 25 amps of current draw on the average. Where can I get LiPoly packs that will provide that kind of power?

Later;
