Default RE: Does anybody fly Accipiter Badius in here?

Thanks, it does look like the battery. Although the one that came with the unit (600 mAh) has never been used, with that battery the unit shuts down in that 10 seconds I mentioned. This after a full (overnight) charge. With a different battery (1100 mAh) it will run at full throttle for about two minutes. So I'll go looking for some replacements.

Concerning replacements - I've seen where some are using a LiPo but it's not clear (to me) if that's simply a replacement battery or if the ESC was switched out at the same time. Is it possible to just insert a 7.4 volt LiPo as a substitute and have it work without any other changes ?
