Well, then, I guess it's a waste of time discussing the weight of the aircraft he plans to use this combination on.

Good luck with it.

Ok what do you mean by this statement? Im a complete noob to electric flying so if you can find me a better setup please do so, the plane weight is 12- 14 oz. The only reason why I chose that battery was because it seemed towards the lighter side for a 3s 1300 Ma battery. Also Im trying to keep the battery as light as possible, the way the plane is designed the battery sits up in a compartment right behind the motor. SO this makes for a nose heavy plane and the only way to balance is to add weight to the tail. So the lighter the better. But with every post from you guys Im learning a little more. So which battery would be better for my needs? Im all ears so please dont hesitate to lead me in the right direction. Thanks
