I have for a few years now changed everything to 6 volt whether 72 or 2.4, I no longer ever buy 4.8 packs. Sure have taken heat here on these forum for that.

I just received my 29th 2.4 Rx (mostly Hitec 7 ch and a few XPS) last week and if not quite done converting my entire fleet and will only use a pack of 6 volts on any of my 2.4 fleet (a wide range of types and venues). I only make use of a pack that is about three times the capacity of what was normally considered normal or what was included with full radio sets.

In other words in an applications that we use to use a , 5 to 700mah I would consider 1400 or so an absolute minimum with 6 volt and prefer something around the 2000 range.

I do still have and will to continue to use a couple of nostalgia airplanes on the 27Htz band.

For your stick it would be a no brainer for me to use a 6. volt pack of a minimum around 18oo but preferably just over 2000mah's. Batteries have gotten so much more affordable and small there is no reason not to.

One other consideration Don.t even consider using the old 50 to 70Ma wall worts. If you spend the money on higher capacity batterys consider the money spent on capable chargers well spent and good insurance.
