So an 8400 mah at 519 grams would be a bit over your limit.  I think that comes out to 18 ounces.  Looks like the Life packs are all pretty heavy when you get the mah up there.

MY bad, I misread the OP, I thought you were looking for a 6.6 volt pack,, not 6.6 oz

If you are trying to drop overall airplane weight I would look to other places besides batteries.

You could post detailed pictures of the airplane inside and out so that we can come up with suggestions on dropping weight without reducing reliability.
