I can tell you that those battrries are on the parts list on Motion RC's website for the A-10, so Motion RC believes you can fly with them. They are the same weight, (866 grams X 2 = 1732 grams), as the Rcjetwerx 5100 carbon packs previously mentioned. Motion RC lipo 5000 packs weigh 732 grams a piece X 2 = 1464 grams. Per the A-10 manual the birds weight without batteries is 4250 grams, thrust is 6600 grams. With a thrust to rate ratio of 1.3 to 1 weight is not your issue. Very few fighters have ever had better than 1 to 1 ratio in the full size jets. 5982 grams AUW with the 5100 carbon packs on board is still better than 1 to 1 thrust to weight ratio, the trick for you will be maintaining your CG with the added weight for the moment. With my two lipo CHNL 6s 6000mah 70c packs, side by side all the way back to the connection board I am still a little on the nose heavy side. I am debating creating a shelf over the top of the connection board to support the battery weight so that I am able to move the batteries further back for optimal CG towards the aft end of the limit for maneuverability, because when the gear swing up the CG shifts forward a wee bit. I know this was long but hope it helps. :Whew:
