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
5) TP ProLite V2 4350 1027g


Hey remember when . . .

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.

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.
