Carbon vs Pro

[msdt74]

I am flying an Admiral Pro 6s 6000mah 50C in my 1600mm Corsair. I am looking to buy 4 more batteries. I am not a full throttle guy(I will make 1 or 2 speed passes on each pack). Most of my flying is 60%-75%. The Carbon 5100mah 70C looks enticing and its cheaper(not by much). Is it worth swapping to the Carbon? I am not concerned because of the higher C rating, I am concerned with the difference of flight time. Thanks in advance.

I am having the same kind of questions. I have the Gripen with thrust vectoring. Only have 3 warmup flights on it and have not used the TV unit, yet. Using Admiral 4000 mah 6s Pro batteries and they do ok. Flight time is kinda short and I can only think it will get shorter once I get flippy with it ! I was seriously looking at the SMC Lihv cells or the Carbon 5100 70c. I like the promise of extra power with the LIHV although my present charger would need to be upgraded. The discharge curve on the Carbon 5100 looks enticing. I am leaning towards those since I have the charger for that. If you have used the Carbon 5100 in the past 3 years what was your experience ? I did see a video of a Freewing Twin 80mm edf using the Carbon 5100 and the giggles by the pilots seemed to indicated they were impressed! They got over 5 minutes of mixed flight.

For optimal results, consider your flying style and the specific needs of your aircraft. If you want longer flight times without sacrificing performance, testing Carbon batteries may be worth a try as they are compatible with your charger.
