I have been using PowerFlite batteries for my Rx battery needs with great success. Unfortunately, PowerFlite seems to be gone. So my question is, "What are people using for Rx battery packs?" Specifically, LiIo type packs.
Thanks

NMP from Central hobbies seems to be the most widely used in pattern.
Although I have been running a 1650 NiMH 5 cell pack from Radical R/C, and I can't get it below 6 volts to save my life. Only weighs about 4.7 ozs with NO FIRE HAZARD. I have put 12 HARD 14-17 min flights on it, in high wind, flying advanced...and have more power than I know what to do with. That's with 6 JR digitals too. Anything more than 12 flights and I'm toast anyway.
But if you just MUST have a Li-Ion pack, I'd say NMP.

4 cell 1200 Mah Sanyo NiCd's. . . . I just plug in my FMA 250 Supernova every 3-4 flights and let it top off the batteries between flights. Somehow, my servos don't seem to notice that they're not powered by lithium. . .
