Powerflight Batt. Systems
I'm building a 35% Carden Edge, and I've never had any experience with the new lithium Batt. packs. I'm considering the Powerflight system and was needing any input from someone who has tried this system.
Thanks Danny

I dunno I've looked at some of the prices for some of the products and I wouldn't buy them at their price then again I deal with lithion ion/polymer packs everyday and I know a little about them. I wouldn't trust a 4000+ airplane to a lithium ion pack with no protection cuircut installed mabye if I had two of them on each receiver.
edit just to add you can find lithium poly's in cell phone battery sales for less than around 5$ and use regular phone chargers but I wouldn't trust these in a reciver batt but park fliers have been doing this for a year or so same type of cells same capacity same voltage can be bought from fma

seems like they use 2 cells from the dimensions but is $70 for some shrink wrap some wire a connector and a sticker
Then again mabye they use some premium cells that I don't know about but I'll stop here
