Need Some advice please
 

I recently purchased a Great Planes Cherokee ARF. I also purchased an E-Flite Power .46 outrunner. I am most likely going with an E-Flite ESC 60A. I need help deciding on a battery pack for this thou. I am sure I want a Li-Po, but I want to try to get atleast 10 minutes flight time out of it. If anyone is familiar with this , the help would be greatly appriciated. Also what charger woudl you guys reccomend. I have had a few people tell me to get a 3s and a 2s battery and hook them in series. Another guy told me to get a 5s and that would be all I needed. This is my first electric and I am a little overwhelmed, but I am excited to see how far they have come in the last few years.

You need atleast a 4 cell lipo and a 60 amp
Esc. Check out the Electric Flight Forum also,

Cool, What mAh would you reccomend? i was thinking a 5s but if a 4s would do I woudl be alot better off. Do battery brands make a difference? Thanks again for the quick reply

The mAh's the better and buy the best brand Lipo
you can afford with a high "C" rating (20 or 30 c )

You will need a Watts meter also, I have one called
a Wattsup meter. A 5 cell lipo will help you for longer
flight time. You need a good charger also. I use a
Thunder Power 610 charger and Flight Power 4s 3200
mAh lipos myself. Read up on all the Saftey info you
can find on Lipo's also.
