battery compatability
I am brand new to RC airplanes. I just crashed my new yellow bee. http://www.raidentech.com/reracoaiyebe.html
I am looking at getting a hobbyzone Firebird outlaw to tied me over until christmas when I know ill be getting something much better. My question is this
I have two batteries left over from the yellowbee(NI-Mh 4.8v 600mAh) and i am wondering if i get or make an adapter so these batteries can plug into the
wiring harness of the firebird outlaw(6v 300mAh) will it work, or will it burn up the engine.
Or
I have considered the firebirdII(4.8v 600mAh).
Thoughs or suggestions?

RE: battery compatability
As you can probably tell, 4.8V is not 6V. Volts are what make the power in an electric plane. If you don't have enough Volts, you don't have enough power. Because of the nature of electricity, you are actually cutting the power by 36%, which is a pretty significant chunk of change. The plane probably won't fly on 4.8V. At least it definitely won't burn up the motor.
