Definately go for 8 cells (NiCad)
I use 8 * 2000 mAh, but :- 8 * 2400 give extra length (just) and are heavier / requiring faster flight 8 * 1700 don't quite last as long, but are lighter meaning you're not at full bore all the time. An 8 cell pack in the UK costs about £32 (http://www.overlander.co.uk) |

Go for 8 cells but use Panasonic P2000 NiMHs. These weigh 0.6 ounce less than 2400 cells for a total saving of 4.8 ounces. The voltage is 5-6 % down but the saving in wing loading makes up for this, and makes the model much more pleasant to fly. Enjoy the model. |

Yes, it seems that the Panasonic 2000 nimh cells are the most popular choice for this plane byfar, since 5 ounces of weight savings is nothing to sneeze at.
Many businesses that sponsor the Ezone carry the 2000 nimh packs, and our price for an 8 cell pack is $50. Shawn <a href=http://www.eflightpower.com>Eflightpower.com</a> |

8xCP1700SCR or even 8xCP1300SCR. I flew on 8x1250SCR (old cells, same weight as the new 1700's) and it was OK. On 8x1300, you'd be 4oz lighter, which is significant.
