Turnigy Nanotech 3300mah 35-70c 1 115amp cont . i,e. 3,3ampx35. 120amp edf will be pretty much toast vey quickly as you are asking to draw more amps than the lipo holds.. Chris Wolfe RC Geek does a good video on the subject. in theory 4000 mah 60c minimum rating gives 4x60 240amp continuous which logically is double the max the edf can pull from it. Flight time will be less than a 5000 mah 60c. To guestimate flight time I use the following formula :-edf power calc for Avanti rhino 4000mah 50c 4/55x60x0.70 = 3 mins i.e 4amp hr battery consuming average of 55amp over flight time. The tricky bit is guessing the average power consumption and that depends on flying style. If the flying time is known for the Eurofghter on a 5000 you can use the formula to work out the ave amps consumption ad feed that back in for 4000mah to get a light time for the 4000. It works for me ! The Hobby Eagle A3 lite basically is a windy day gyro to smooth out the bumps, either on or off at the rates you set it at on a 2 way switch, no auto level. The A3 super 4 is a bit more feature filled, allows auto level, servo reverse, individual gains amount on rudder, elevator and ailerons. It also has 2 aileron and 2 elevator outputs which gives you more control and more choices such as servo reverse on say left and right canards and servo reverse on left and right tailerons I would suggest you ask Motion r.c. customer services if the A3 Lite works ok with the Eurofighter and how it is wired bearing in mind the canards. I prefer an auto level gyro to give me that extra second of recovery time in moments of lost orientation/brain failure .
