Regarding the cheaper packs, I REALLY hope the price comes down at equal weight and good cycle life. I'll be watching eagerly to see. Unfortunately 25 flights on a non-pattern application with fewer cells, in my opinion, won't indicate the sutability of packs for pattern. Even if the packs are cheaper, wouldn't you still want to treat them kindly and get the most flights possible?

I'll be watching closely as you guys experiment and I'll be right behind you as soon as I see you're blazing a superior trail.

Hi Keith . .

I personally know of four guys using Rhino and Zippy packs in F3A, and they are holding up strong after 40+ cycles. They are powering Plettenberg EVO, Hacker C50's COMP, and a Hyperion outrunner.

It appears the Rhinos have a slight edge, but they are a little heavier.
