Hi all, new to the forum, new to fixed wing aircraft, couple years experience with electric helis up to 600 class, 35 years with nitro helis. All sport scale. Having said that I have a question about batteries. When researching info on lipos when first getting back to large electric helis I decided to use HARD CASE lipos as in most heli models with fiberglass fuses, I was concerned about chafeing battery surfaces with vibration no matter how they might be secured with all the hard parts in the heli. Now that I am switching to fixed wing I am also switching to standard or soft batteries. My question is twofold, does anyone know if a hardcase lipo still has the shrinkwrap type covering inside such as the standard battery construction, reason being I have many hardcase batteries that I would like to remove the hard case if possible and SAFE to do. As they are quite a bit lighter with out the hard case for my planes, as well as fitting better. Any thought of this subject would be welcomed. Thanks
