Default RE: Getting into electric: What about the Lipo
I am going through this again due to the sheer frustration of not being able to fly this weekend again due to problems with my local field.

Again two questions[&o]

1) Can LiFe battries be used with electric motors? For eg, the GP Extra 330SC foamy recommends a 11.1V battery for outdoor flying. However, LiFe battries are only available in 6.6V. How then dou you use with that plane? Also what ESC to use?

2) Again a airplane selection. Though I am good at glow, electric I am new to. I can probably hover, waterfall, flat spin but everything else in 3D in need to learn. Should I go for Foamy (Such as GP Extra 330SC, GP UCD 3D EP or go for the XLC like Yak54 EP or Edge540 E-performance? The XLC s are a bit larger an I dont know how much space they will require to fly, considering the local ground is about half a football stadium
