I like the hobbystar packs because they have more capacity for a given weight. For example, their 4600mah 4s 35c, which weigh about as much as an eflite 3000mah 4s or Turnigy Graphene 2700mah 4s. I don't use them in anything pulling anywhere near 35c, realistically only 15-20c tops, but I get great flight times from them.
Those 4600 packs won't work here though, as they only have xt 60 plugs, but they sell a 5200mah 8s pack with xt90 that only weighs like 850g. Little pricy at $130, but the flight times with that low weight would be really good.

yeah I love the hobbstar parks. I have 8 of them now. The 35c 4600s and 5200s are incredibly light and perform well. The 45c 5200 is even better. I plan on using the 5200s in the f22. As well as my gens ace ,chl and heavy duties. I will be using the fms edf in mine. The 70 and 80mm fms fans are so chill amps wise on the batts though. The batts get much hotter with the freewing outrunners so much so that I wont use the 4600s in the L39 or Red Avanti anymore but in the fms bae 80 no problemo they are by far the best pack for 70 and 80 fms fans.I think the 35c hobbystar packs are more truly 25c but they are so light it's worth it in most applications. I'd recommend the 45c rated ones (truly 35c probably lol)for the freewing outrunners however

BTW Thank you Motion/ for the fast shipment, The craftsmanship and design is beautiful ! Not so sure about the UBEC on the 8s version, would have been great for the Bec to be intergrated in the Esc.
And the anti spark is a great add though !
I just Can’t help myself I’ll be out to the field tomorrow.

Flanker, We use Arlo and like 'em a lot. We have 6 cameras on 2 systems all outdoors. I did have to drill for mounting on 3 of these but used their mounts and it took longer to 'aim' the cameras than it did to do the install. Worth it for us. No real programming, just scheduling and battery replacement about once a year. Just my $00.02USD. Best, LB
