Just saved 3oz in my plane

Hey Joe,

Great to see you this Saturday. How was the Fun-Fly? By the way your plane is "kick butt", and I love how well it flew with a 17x12 [X(]


Here are a few picks from a previous post. Just interesting to see what one can do with a little cutting and pasting in terms of shaving grams

While I'm at it let me post some battery weights:

1) TP Prolite V2 5300 mAh 1170g
2) True RC 10C/20C 5000 mAh 1174g
3) Power Unlimited 20C 5000 mAh 1183g
4) Zippy Rhino 20C 4900 mAh 1233 g

Hey remember when . . .

anyone have the weigth off Zippy Flightmax 5 s 5000 15 C ...I just got some batteries from Hobbycity and one off them was marked as 15C but its just some few gr.. lighter than the 20 ca 6 gr ...in their website it should be about 50 gr lighter and wonderd that it maybe is marked wrong...they also sold out off the 15 C </p>

I have three sets of Zippy 15C/5000. One set weighs 1155 grams and the other two weigh 1165 grams including deans.

Only ten cycles on these sets, but they are great so far.

the 1 5s 15c that I got weighs 620 gr so I think it maybe are wrong ...maybe is a 20c

I tried the Hobbypartz 5S 5000 20C packs. Mine weighed 618 grams. After 5 cycles the Cell resistance is ~1.9 to 2.4 milliohms.

My Turnigy 5s 5000mah 20C weighed at 666 grams. The two power wires can be cut short a little bit to save a couple grams.
