Thanks, your superlight build looks amazing too I bet it flies great !

The only way to find out is to test it. I alway take the C ratings with a grain of salt... meaning it is not always correct. How do you plan to use these packs, slow cruising, or fast free style? You might be okay if you plan to fly it slow and keep the amp draw low. Also keep in mind, I have used higher C rating batteries that has more voltage sag than a lower C rating battery. For example, I have a set of GNB 1100mah 130C 6s that weighs and sags more, less capacity than a GNB 1000mah 100C lipos. So, once again, the only way to find out is to try it out. I personally have not tried that specific lipo before, so I can not approve or disapprove of it. I have tried a few different flavors of the GNB 720mah lipos and they all have been excellent in power and low weight. I typically do not like HV charging my lipos, because it "seems" to degrade my batteries faster.

thanks, that makes sense. I wouldn't want to sacrifice the longevity of the batteries. In this case I'll stick to GNB 660mah LiPO. With a calm flight I'm getting around 6 minutes flight. Curious if stripping the O3 unit would make it much longer. I'm using it also with 5 blade props as it's much quieter but maybe it probably drains the battery more.

Curious if I'll be able to flick around and do some basic freestyle with the 3S 720MAH 100C you tested. Thoughts? TIA -- *before i fry it

Yes, you can totally flick it around and do some basic freestyle with the 3s 720mah lipo. You can feel the extra weight but it still works. As for the 850mah 60C, I would not go that route unless you plan to use it for slow cruising. But I would not know for sure until you try it because the C rating aways over rated and typically 60C is a bit low for freestyling.

Just regular old rattle cans
sometimes I buy a nice quality brand like Montana, but in general the process is pretty much:

• sand it down with medium to high grit
• primer with some color
• lay down the paint theme, sometimes add a fade
• sand in between the layers
• stencil
• clear coat

Sounds like a lot, but when you done a couple, the process becomes pretty straight forward...like a couple hours including drying

yes, its a beast. the motors are insane. best flying 3s i have flown.

What has been your fav battery on this bird, so far? Very tempting build, might make one with those same motors/frame

gnb 450 3s

haha thanks for the praise :D
sadly I havent had time to fly it yet
but still, kinda proud of it

Drift Hunters

thank you! :D

I probably put about 15 packs through it before it got too snowy, and have had zero issues at all. definitely working well so far.

thanks!

yes
