Default RE: School me on choosing the right Lipo plz

amadio1, by the way, my capacity numbers I stated were all hypothetical, just used whatever numbers came to my mind first for explanation purposes. The process for choosing your pack is still the same though. I just wanted to explain what all the numbers mean and how to use that info for your setup, it wasn't literal in regards to the motor you mentioned.
On a side note, I fly an Electrifly 41" Edge 540 that weighs in at about 32-34oz, and I'm running a Rimfire 35-30-1450 motor. It runs right at 372 watts with a 10x7E APC prop, and it pulls the plane good. It's not the most efficient motor though, I run a 3S 2650ma 20C pack, and it uses about 2200ma for a 6 or 7 min flight if the wind is more than 5 mph.
