This I do not understand. Remember at the beginning of this thread I stated that I don't really have a great understanding of anything electrical. So, two identical planes, with identical receivers, and identical servos, but one having a 4.8v battery and the other having a 6.0v of the same mAh, will give you different flight times? And the 4.8v battery will actually win out.

One thing to remember about 4.8 v 6 volt packs of equal capacity is that the 6 volt pack gives you about 20% LESS flying time. due to the higher current drain.
Absolutely. With all other things equal(same capacity and same equipment), increasing the voltage will decrease the availble power from the battery. If you want to increase flying time you need to increase the capacity of the battery (milliamps, Mah). The higher capacity will give you more run time. Increasing the voltage will increase the amount of power and speed the servos have.
