I agree, i use that same battery on a plane with about the same specs. I used a couple other brands in the 2100 mah range also and they worked but just didnt have the punch and run time of the thunder power cell. I was thinking of trying one of the extreme cells to see if it gives me even more, but i guess it would just be overkill since the plane will never tap into that many amps anyway.

happy flying

hey, i just checked the site that i buy batteries from and they have them on sale. thunder power 2100 3 cell for $59.99
here is the page, http://www.superfastrc.com/11volich.html

one thing also about that plane, it really seems to make a difference to run a deans connector also or something similar that will carry the amps.
