Default Is 10c 5000mAh package to much?

Hi,

The uncertainity is about current used. In my environment it seems that people are charging anything between 3000-3900 mAh into 5000mAh pacages.
Let us use the basis for discharge at approx 80%.

Charge 3000mAh wich is 80% discharge gives 3750mAh capacity battery.
Charge 3900mAh wich is 80% discharge gives 4875mAh capacity battery.

How often are one charging 3900mAh or more??? Is this under conditions that there are no flying accordig to FAI rules?????
or, are we using the best equipment re consumption of current ??????? in the propultion system??????

Will it be safe to reduce battery capacity to say approx 4400mAh and take the penalty if any to discharge (3500 mAH @ 80%) or 85% or so rarerly??????

Weight is an driving issue always!

What capacity do you use for your receiver? Anything between 600mAh to something..........? Capacity to take you safe through 5++ schedules? Average well under 100mAh pr schedule? Weight for this cell approx ??????
A 350mAh battery @ 25gr will be more than enough pr schedule and change it out when you are charging your drive pack. That means one receiver battery package pr drive battery package. Just stick your receiver battery onto your drive battery and save 30-100 grams.

What are your experience????

Best regards
