thanks to all those to replied and gave suggestions, It's much appreciated. The reason I want to go 6v is cuz I read soooo much bad press about the AR500 browning out. As a Newbie, If I crash my Alpha, I'd prefer it not be becuz I did not have enough juice.

Do you have an expanded scale voltmeter or at least a Voltwatch so you can measure the battery pre-flight? Good investment that can save a model.
You are right to be concerned. I'd guess 75% ot 95% of those that say they were "hit" or had radio problems were rather because they flew with a low battery and ran out of juice.
