I use 6s 50c 6200mah pack that are actually lighter than almost all high C 5000s on the market. Its not about the capacity but rather the actual weight. If the pack is the right weight then go for it. But if its too heavy then that is what the issue really is.Check me out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/user/gooniac33

Originally posted by Alpha.MotionRC View PostHi Flying Hawk,
We design our aircraft to accommodate battery ranges, when possible, to maximize the aircraft's appeal and lower the cost of ownership for those with existing batteries. This is due in part to size, wing loading, bay volume, and internal layout. The chances a model can meet these requirements declines the smaller its fan is:
*All 90mms can fly a 6s 5000 (eleven aircraft)
*Most 80mms can fly a 6s 5000 (five aircraft)
*Few 70mms can fly a 6s 5000 (two aircraft)
If modelers choose to use heavier batteries than recommended (i.e. 5800mAh in a 70mm Hawk) or lighter batteries than recommended (i.e. 2600mAh in 70mm F-104) that is their own prerogative.
My team's prerogative is to ensure our batteries, which are industry common sizes, can be flown by our aircraft. There will be other battery sizes an aircraft can fly, but as long as the Venn diagram includes one of our batteries, our customers with those batteries are covered.
This is one of the reasons why we haven't developed an aircraft that required 5s to fly well... Because few people have 5s packs.1 Photo

I assume he’s referring to the Hobby Star 50c 6200mah, Its 780g. That’s the closest I could find. I actually bought a B-17 from the owner of RC Juice last month. I saw the price and didn’t investigate further... they’re $109

I noticed the torque arm on the nose landing gear appears to be plastic. Is that final production ? Should I be concerned given I fly off a regularly cut but somewhat wavy (not ideally flat) grass field ? Might as well ask, has this plane been well tested on short grass fields ? Don't want to be out of service for long periods of time and or or worse, tear the nose gear if that part fails.

That centerburner is the perfect upgrade for this model. Nice flight, can't wait to snag one next year!My YouTube RC videos:
