| I am new too So I am passing on what I have learned from much more experienced people.
Anyway, some people order 2S2P batteries to help balance the heli, and I am sure LightFlight will make it if you ask. Most people use one pack at a time. Some add some weight to compensate for the tail heavy syndrome that happens when using a LiPo. It gets worse when using a lighter motor. I was told that if I need to wire the batteries together, to make sure I do not short them. When cutting the wire, cut one at a time because if you cut both of them at the same time, it will cause a short a may destroy the battery. Also make sure the batteries are fully charged when connecting them, then after they are connected charge again to make sure they are equalized.
But look at it this way (like I do). One 2S LiPo is just less than half the weight of the birdseed, yet has double the amperage and at least three times the run time when flying. I read somewhere that for every gram added to this heli, you will lose about 6 seconds of flight time. I think I got that right, but when I read it I was not bothered by it. So I will try one battery at a time first and see what happens. I hope to be able to try them over the weekend. |
