5000mah TP 45c packs. I have my timing turned up for more power.

Ok, all this talk makes me want to wring something out. It's midnight so the sim will have to so.
You're and animal! I love it. Glad someone can do all that flying. It shows! Keep it up. Later.

Yikes! That's a total of 5900mah capacity on that plane :veryshocked:....I'm guessing it feels pretty heavy??? :megaroll: I feel like I should try the 5000mah myself now....:D

Unless you are unhappy with performance, I wouldn't go with the bigger battery. The extra mass is very hard on the plane.

I went with the larger battery for 3 reasons:
- I wanted more airspeed and brute power. To do this, I had to up the timing. That requires more available wattage to use.
-The extra mass allows for carrying speed in up-line tumbling maneuvers, and maintaining speed during maneuvering.
- and I already had 4 flight packs available in this size... :p

Now we know the rest of the story!
Off to Toledo with Matt! Looking for a 60". I find myself with components less one servo. BTW EFs are mighty strong airframes but no match for 50' steel light poles at 40-50 mph! Ask me how I know. I thought I'd have a nice single wing rescue video for you but I couldn't make the 180 turn to land it. 1 EF 60" extra- EXPIRED. Laser still going strong. Night have to go to the eye doc to check depth perception.

I lost my EF 60" Edge the same way. Was doing a high altitude KE just pretty as a picture. The football stadium lights at the top of the pole just jumped right out dead center of my flight path. The Gall!

Hey guys. I encountered the strangest thing today and so puzzled and not sure where the problem is. if you possibly recall I built my laser not too long ago and had 5 flights on it and today I had the time to go get some more fun but guess what, I connect the battery, I hear the ESC beeping as normal I think but the Rx light never goes on at all. I can see the BEC light which is solid on; and I could see the ESC light after removing the cowl and the light is flashing rapidly; it is an edge 100 light. no servo, throttle or any control obviously. so no connection between the radio and Rx.

Could someone tell what's going on?.
Thank you for any input.
