    Chicken, I'll be running a pair of nano-tech 4s/3300 in it.

    I just ordered a second charger and a second pair of those batteries as well.

    A two battery plane requires a two charger set-up, no? They are both the cheapo accucell 6 from HK though, nothing special. just an FYI, the batteries are in stock right now.... keeping adequate stock is a definite problem in this hobby.

    What are you using? I read somewhere that you will be flying with 3s? BTW do you have a build thread?

    3s 2200's.. kinda small.. I'll have to clear up some space in my battery bay so that i can accomodate some bigger ones.
    You guys are all gonna out-pace me. :)P

    What can you tell me about the nano-tech's? I read on hobbyking a bunch of marketing hoopla, but what's the big deal? I see the C ratings have a range instead of a set value.. what's up with that?

    well, from what I've read is that the nano-techs are smaller in dimension than others for the same capacity. I don't know about the veracity about the charging rates hoopla, especially since I can't really charge at those rates anyway. LOL. Also, these are supposed to last longer, but I've heard diverging opinions on that as well.

    So, the main reason I bought them is because TBS uses them and AFAIK they have smaller dimensions.

    The combination of motor and 4s batts provides for "unlimited vertical" according to TBS

    Best get with it!

    If my camera were 5v, my wiring setup would be easier to upgrade to 4s.
